    Update this page

    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.

    This user has reverted @Aybeg: one time, @Remsense: 3 times and me 2 times. This user thinks her 13 sources makes her addition correct, but WP:ONUS. The sources takes an autobiography as account. Talk:Mustafa_Kemal_Atatürk#Request_for_comment:_Atatürk's_romance_with_Gabor here she opened RFC, however many users agreed that this should be included as a claim on Zsa Zsa Gabor's article. But even there she states this as a fact. She is giving also misleading citation here calling me "smart-aleck", "playing games", also [12] calling me "troll". WP:PA.

This is a deliberate corruption of due process. Go start your own website with locked code if you want propaganda."

    Comments:

    There was a consensus on the placement of a UNIFIED collage, and a photograph was attached, I don’t understand what the problem is to look at it. It called "Infobox collage" and it is last one topic on the discussion page. Also, I'm not the first one who decided to change the collage to separate photos, but it all started with this. I wonder why I participate in the "Edit War" and another person doing the same thing does not? It was that other person who started changing the collage to separate, contrary to the consensus that the unified collage was shown. Algirr (talk) 23:01, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with M.Bitton. I'd like to add that editor in question had also been highly disruptive on Arab Cold War where they've made four reverts within 25 hours.[13][14][15][16] Skitash (talk) 00:01, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Of course you agree, because you did the same with my edits. Algirr (talk) 00:13, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    And Moreover, YOU made same number of reverts for the same (or almost the same) time. Algirr (talk) 00:23, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Do you disagree with the fact that you violated WP:1RR twice? M.Bitton (talk) 00:37, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I do not agree that I am the only one accused of this and especially (if this is implied) that I started it. Algirr (talk) 00:41, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I gave my justifications. The consensus on "Fall of the Assad Regime" said one thing, but some person does it differently, hiding behind the policy of using each image (although Wikipedia does not prohibit the use of combined collages, as can be seen from their frequent use in other articles). In the article on the "Arab Cold War" I still do not understand what the claim is about the presence of the map and what is the point in removing it. Algirr (talk) 00:43, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    You have violated WP:1RR (twice). This is an undisputed fact. M.Bitton (talk) 00:45, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh, yeah, I did that. I don't count hours, if be honestly Algirr (talk) 00:47, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    In any case, I would not violate this, accidentally or on purpose, unless another person replaced one with another, which he considers correct, and without serious reasons, and even without creating a consensus on this topic Algirr (talk) 00:51, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I would not violate this, accidentally or on purpose, unless.. this says it all. I'm done here. M.Bitton (talk) 00:53, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, I can’t prove to you that the violation was accidental, that’s why I use this wording. What’s the problem again? Algirr (talk) 00:55, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    You violated WP:1RR and that's the end of it. Quetstar (talk) 02:31, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    i am not deny it, I am argued why it is happened. And you make changes many times without creating consensus. Algirr (talk) 02:37, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    It is your responsibility to watch yourself. There is therefore no need to figure out why you broke it. Also, Consensus isn't always required. Quetstar (talk) 02:46, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    OK, no, I need. In this case, it was required. Algirr (talk) 03:01, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Onpoint12 has been reported before for editwarring before[26] and wasn't blocked. Onpoint12 has been told of a consensus and decided to ignore this(I have provided a link for the consensus).
