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.
You must notify any user you have reported. You may use
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.
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.

@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)

The city limit per country is 3 and I have been making edits to ensure that only 3 cities per country are placed.

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)
- 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)
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)
- I understand if my conduct is to be looked at. I would say that others have [35] [36] flagged this user's edits here as potential BLP issue here. I've attempted to discus material on the talk page. I would say that the other user insisting and multiple times stating my edits are malicious while I am doing all I can to assume good faith does seem to count as a personal attack, as does their statements in edit logs that I "exclusively edit Scottish politician pages" and do so with pro nationalist bias.
- Would suggest they have not looked at the edits they are citing, 1) the Paul Sweeney article, like this, is a page where a minor politician's page seems to have becomes massively bloated and I've attempted to trim it down, with IP edits attempting to re-add removed material. It was not editing "from a nationalist perspective" just trimming a 98k character article of a minor politician to 78k. 2) The Eilidh Whiteford page is not me "adding in details of a complaint against a Labour MP" -- I added to a long-standing section on the page pertaining to the complaint, which, if anything, can be read as critical of an SNP figure. 3) The Ash Regan edit cited was not me adding content. I undid an edit [37] deleting a section that had been in the article for months, claiming that it was just "removing language". 4)I have posted a number of things that could be construed as negative/looking bad for SNP politicians -- and claiming otherwise would indicate they've not looked at my edit history.
- I've edited Scottish political pages because it's something I am informed on, but have striven to uphold NPOV. Other user does stuff like delete details which look bad without explanation [38], and has refused to engage on Talk page. Thanks for the protection, pols for my part here, will look at ANI. WorthPoke2 (talk) 23:21, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Anachronist
- Thank you for the update and action on the page. I apologise for you having to do this, and apologise for my role. However in mitigation.
- Im being accused of removing details that are unhelpful to the page which Worthpoke2 is also doing.
- In particular
- Examples
- Please see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lisa_Cameron&oldid=1245016167 this edit removes a number of items that are notable, including ministerial intervention, which had been on the page.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lisa_Cameron&oldid=1244472886 again similar behaviours removing items that have been historically deemed as noteworthy
- They also removed "disability activism" "carers champion" "positive campaign" over a number of edits
- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lisa_Cameron&oldid=1231179624
- There also have been historical edits on the page by the same user removing information that should be deemed as NPOV
- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lisa_Cameron&oldid=1227612354
- I apologise for any inconvenience caused by my actions Anachronist, and will strive to improve my editing noting your comments as. Apologies again.
- Have a good day. Xwv9009 (talk) 11:39, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Note that 3RR hasn't yet been breached, but as the user has made 3 reverts today (discounting consecutive edits, of which there are many), plus 2 more within the past 48 hours, this is clearly edit warring that isn't stopping.
