    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 {{

    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.

    These IPv6 editors have made changes in the past few days which were reverted for not complying with the list definition (requires cite, or wikilink to article supporting inclusion). IPv4 and IPv6 addresses also made edits close in time to Germans in the Philippines and Koreans in the Philippines Oblivy (talk) 02:34, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Blocked – for a period of 2 years With this extensive a block record, there's really no reason to reach the edit-warring question as long as the edits are demonstratively disruptive. Daniel Case (talk) 04:41, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I have also blocked the IPV6 range for both those IPs for a month (it does seem like other editors have used it constructively in the past). Daniel Case (talk) 04:44, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you. Note that there appears to be block evasion activity from 120.18.78.182 which is registered to Vodaphone NSW (geographically similar to this IP, same registrant as 120.18.189.237 which also made similar edits on same pages). Left a comment on the talk page about block evasion, nothing do do right now it seems. Oblivy (talk) 05:13, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Again, here we go, this guy just don't stop. See block log - FlightTime (open channel) 00:53, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    • Consecutive edits are considered as a single edit, not multiple ones. FlightTime is editing warring over "improvize" being the proper American spelling. It is not. In all varieties of English, the word is spelled "improvise". See this. Beyond My Ken (talk) 00:56, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      My reply from their talk: Whatever, it's not the spelling, it's the editwarring across the whole article today, and for years with you. - FlightTime (open channel) 00:59, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      I would also point out that while I obviously do not have OWNERSHIP of the article, I do have a legitimate stake in its STEWARDSHIP, having written 96.8% of the 67,653 byte article [18], and that FlightTime's edits in attempting to force the incorrect spelling "improvize" into the article, while not vandalism per se, was certainly not improving the article.
      And then there's FlightTime's animosity to me, sparked when he tried to nominate an unnecessary redirect of an image from Commons, and instead nominated the actual image. When I objected, he flipped me off, referring to me as "Einstein", as if it were I who had made the error, not them. [19]. FlightTime clearly has a quick fuse, and it looks as if they hold grudges as well - which is really what this is about. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:11, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Maybe I haven't made myself clear, You have an ownership mentality on all article you watch. - FlightTime (open channel) 01:14, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • I watch 4,042 articles, so that is an absurd statement. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:21, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Looking at the article's history, when multiple consecutive edits are counted as one, I had only two reverts before FlightTime began edit-warring to force "improvize" into the article. I now -- admittedly, have four reverts, so I guess I'm due for a sanction. I would argue, though, that FlightTime's ignoring multiple attempts to point them to the correct spelling ([20], [21], edit summary, edit summary) is a mitigating circumstance, and would ask for a mulligan on edit four. I don't expect to get it, but I do FT's think forcing a misspelling into an article, whole ignoring please to simply look it up in a dictionary, is as close to "obvious vandalism" as one can get.

    ]
    FlightTime, it is fine to use a script to assist you in correcting spelling errors, but you are fully responsible for the accuracy of your own edits. If you are not reasonably certain that your edit is correct, then please do not make it. Do not blame the script when you make a mistake. And when another editor points out quite clearly that you are wrong, pay attention. Do not let your clearly expressed enmity toward the other editor blind you to the fact that your spelling was wrong. The goal is a better encyclopedia with correct spelling, not conflicts among editors. Cullen328 (talk) 03:35, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Really? Been here almost 15 years, thanks for the Wiki-preaching, I know all this stuff (I didn't blame the script, I just said I used it), but in real life, sometimes shit happens, good Admin response though. Happy editing, - FlightTime (open channel) 16:03, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

When it was challenged, EndlessCoffee54 added low quality citations in May 2020.[31] Today's fourth revert shown above restores the same disputed text but with new citations.

    The original version of this page, before Binksternet began removing the line "cultural, financial, and political center of Silicon Valley" last month, had this phrase in there for years, at least since 2017. I have been contributing to this page since 2012? and I still remember a version of it being there then. Binksternet's removal of this phrase was initially reverted by another editor (CristianoTomas, from what I remember) because it was a controversial change that he disagreed with. When this happens, the page typically stays at status quo per
    WP:QUO
    , which is a version of the page that contained "cultural, financial, and political center of Silicon Valley." The onus is on the person making the controversial change to head to the talk page. Yes, he has the ability to be bold and make the edit in the first place. But out of good faith, when more than one editor reverts that change repeatedly, as I and others did, Binksternet should have gone to the talk page to suggest his edits and have the conversation we are currently having now there. Not to keep reverting over the period of a month to get his preferred version.
    As a reference point, two or so years ago, I altered the longstanding lede of the San Francisco article from "the" to "a" "cultural, commercial, and financial center of NorCal." I think Binksternet may have been the one who reverted me. Instead of disrespecting his choice, I went to the talk page and built consensus to make that change permanent (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:San_Francisco/Archive_8#SF_Being_*the*_Political,_Cultural,_and_Economic_Center_of_NorCal). Binksternet did not do the same here, instead choosing to selectively revert the longstanding consensus over the course of a month+, even when repeatedly told in the edit history to come to the talk page. He also pursued no intermediate measures like messaging editors to work out a solution in lieu of going to the talk page, or by placing a citation notice on the article or the reference line so that others could add better sources, like the page has now.

    I would like to add that Binksternet also used incredibly crass language in some of his edits and in his message on my talk page, where he referred to the sources as "shitty." That's unprofessional behavior that shouldn't be aired on Wikipedia and doesn't contribute to any meaningful conversation, but instead serves to bully other editors into submission. He's also insinuated on the San Jose talk page that a book on Latino history in the US couldn't possibly have value as a source on Silicon Valley, where hundreds of thousands of Latinos work. I found this comment deeply insulting and to be frank, slightly racist in its tone. This is the kind of behavior that tracks with repeated reverts instead of coming to the talk page to discuss something in good faith after several long-time editors had disagreed with the changes.

    None of this acknowledges your explicit violation of 3RR. Regarding who was supposed to go to the talk page,
    WP:ONUS could not be more clear about it: "The responsibility for achieving consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content." You were seeking to include disputed content, so you should have started a talk page discussion about it. Binksternet (talk) 07:50, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply
    ]
    You also violated 3RR, in spirit, if not explicitly by the letter of the policy. You've reverted the page to your preferred form 7-8 different times over the last month, when asked to come to the talk page to discuss. Your material was in dispute first. It was your onus to begin the talk page discussion. EndlessCoffee54 (talk) 14:04, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    A couple of comments from an uninvolved editor:
    I've just had a look at this, and it appears that the exact content that is being removed here, had previously been in the article for a long time, since at least January 2021. So if anything, the removal of it is the bold edit here.
    However, as of now, multiple other editors have objected to EndlessCoffee54's restoration of that content, and not just Binksternet. Namely, Drmies (diff), and Amakuru (diff). Looking at the talk page, it doesn't look to me like the dispute is fully over yet, but this is where things are at right now. — AP 499D25 (talk) 14:40, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Would you or someone you know be open to moderating a streamlined discussion on this so we can reach a compromise? I think what is in controversy is the "Silicon Valley" designation. I do think that some phrase about San Jose being the center of the Valley is necessary. Perhaps "Santa Clara Valley," or "South Bay" instead, since San Jose is the political seat of government and main component of its MSA. EndlessCoffee54 (talk) 14:54, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
