Wikipedia talk:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring

Glitch?

Not sure if this is technical issue, (either one time or on-going), but I had typed out comments and signed, and even previewed the report before submitting, but then only after did I notice that the comments & sig had disappearred. Posting this here to see if anyone else has experienced the same issue. - wolf 15:57, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Multiple user names

There's a user who is mildly obsessed with a wiki and has been consistently argumentative and domineering. They also have gotten in trouble for this before, so they're now using multiple user names (it's the exact same edits, only on this one wiki). They're reverting edits incessantly but use both names to get around 3RR. What should I do? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Medievalonion (talk • contribs) 20:14, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

@Medievalonion:, no using multiple accounts in the manner you describe is not allowed. I'm in the process of blocking the accounts now.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:30, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Done. Future reports can be made at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Specialkay12.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:30, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

@Ponyo based on the historical use of one of the IPs and the naming overlap, this could be Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Priscilla 223. Just an FYI if you want to chase further. Izno (talk) 23:03, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Well well well, there's an exact match to one of the IPs in the CU log. I'll ask for a case merge. Cheers, Izno.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 23:11, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

thank you! Medievalonion (talk) 23:17, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

What to do if...

what do you do if the Administrator edits from a slanted point of view? how often does wiki ban its own admins? is there a appeal process to see if an Admin has become bias on topics? User99321652 (talk) 06:24, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Depends on the specifics. Raise it on their talkpage first. If that fails and it's an issue involving article content or regular editing conduct, raise it at the usual notice boards like WP:ANEW or follow the steps at somewhere like WP:NPOVD. If it's an issue about admin tool use, consider WP:AN or WP:ANI, or ultimately Arbcom. As with any other editing dispute you will need evidence to back up your complaint. Mildly, you might also have a better chance if you're not using a throwaway account like the one you've posted your question here with. But up to you. -- Euryalus (talk) 06:52, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Should I reply if I've been reported?

Is it appropriate/helpful for a reported user to reply to the report? I don't want to start an argument here or create more work for whoever is reviewing the report, but I would speak in my own defense if that's expected. Carleas (talk) 15:38, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

You may, but it rarely affects at least my personal evaluation. Most times, those responding to reports engage in unhelpful tu quoque argumentation, which would apparently not be different in your case and doesn't justify your own behavior. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:34, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Am I in 3RR

Just wanted to clarify if I am in the domain of editwarring in Ram Mandir. I am one of the lead editors and have made reverts per policies and have warned constant disruptors regarding editwarring. Wanted to know if I myself am in that domain, or not. Thanks. — The Herald (Benison) (talk) 10:56, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Yes. I'm not sure what you mean by 'lead editor,' but this is a content dispute and you have 4 reverts in less than 24 hours. --Onorem (talk) 11:11, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Alright. Noted. By lead editor, I mean primary contributor. (Yes, I am aware of WP:OWN). I'll take a cooldown time then. Thanks. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 11:25, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Edit war or revert restriction noticeboard?

Hello. I was wondering if this noticeboard is exclusively to report violations of revert restrictions such as 3rr or also to report general edit warring, which may not necessarily violate a revert restriction? Sincerely, Thinker78 (talk) 22:57, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

I believe it's exclusively revert restriction violations; I've seen cases where 3RR or 1RR hadn't been breached and no action was taken on those. —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 23:35, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Heh, you've led a sheltered life. The noticeboard is for reporting edit-warring, even if there is no violation of 3RR. Whether the reported editor will be sanctioned depends on many factors.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:04, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Hehehe. Well, I just came out of a block, although not for edit warring. When I first read the 3RR policy I thought 3 reverts was a violation, so I have stuck to 2 reverts maximum. And personally, I try to do only 1 revert maximum. Although sometimes I do 2. Btw, can you check out the situation in Zoroastrianism? I have tried mediating in the talk page but I think there may be some borderline edit warring going on. Sincerely, Thinker78 (talk) 04:17, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
