    Definition of edit warring
    Edit warring is a behavior, typically exemplified by the use of confrontational edits to win a content dispute. It is different than a
    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 the 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

    for exemptions.
