    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 {{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.

    User's only edits are of Bob Avakian with a side comment on Avakian's RCP. User is edit warring and others have given warning Ogress 02:45, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Blocked indefinitely from the article. The user has a sustained history of reverting edits and removing content with the edit summary "vandalism", contrary to WP:NOTVANDAL. Also, claiming exemptions because of BLP can be controversial, and still result in a block. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:23, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I have been accused of being a COI editor (I am only an affordable housing advocate) and all edits have been reverted by this editor repeatedly without attempts to discuss.

    Comments:

    not really sure if I was supposed to do anything else but this person refused to discuss on the talk page after I asked them to stop edit warring. These edits were probably good faith, but still edit warring and I think they also violate 3RR. Gommeh (talk/contribs) 18:06, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Edit-warring over a minor release date, and personally attacking Tkbrett with wild abandon. I've got no part in this feud, I just improved the article to GA status. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 20:47, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Comments: Eeismail has repeatedly inserted an improperly sourced land area figure into the article despite requests from multiple users to stop. User:Ritchie333 gave a temporary article block and final warning, but since then Eeismail has simply tried to insert the figure into the infobox instead of the body text. A. Parrot (talk) 14:14, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Blocked indefinitely I warned them that's what would happen if they carried on with discussion, and so it's three strikes and you're out. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 14:16, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
