    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.

What I meant is that if other articles also mention vice-chancellors and vice-presidents then it would only make sense if this did too. It would make sense for certain types of articles to follow a certain pattern. After I last revered Nikkimaria there were edits by several other editors and noone seemed to have a problem with the vice-chancellor being mentioned. If you want it so bad for it to be removed then discuss it on talk page."

    5. 09:08, 1 May 2024 (UTC) "Undid revision 1221622634 by Nikkimaria (talk) If we can show the vice-president of US in the infobox of USA as well as vice-presidents of other countries in their infobox then there is no reason why the German vice-chancellor cant be shown in the infobox for being the third highest ranking official of Germany. Some countries even have up to five leaders in the infobox anyways."

    User:ActionHeroesAreReal reported by User:Mac Dreamstate (Result: No violation; try WP:ANI)[edit]

    Page: Naseem Hamed (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
    User being reported: ActionHeroesAreReal (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

    Previous version reverted to: [1] – stable edition, correctly labelling Hamed as British only.

    Diffs of the user's reverts:

    1. [2] – first revert, with a spurious edit summary of "Not constructive".
    2. [3]
    3. [4] – not a revert, but re-adding the disputed content with a new source rather than discussing at article talk page.
    4. [5] – reverting my revert, with no response to talk page message left for them, inviting them to continue discussion at article talk page.

    Diff of edit warring / 3RR warning: [6]

    Diff of attempt to resolve dispute on article talk page: Discussion at article talk page. No responses to my most recent posting after almost two months.

    Diff of ANEW notice posted to user's talk page: [7]

    Comments:

    User:ActionHeroesAreReal mistakenly insists on Naseem Hamed being labelled as British-Yemeni. Hamed was born in the UK, is a British national, has never lived in Yemen (from where his parents hail), is not notable for his ethnicity, and has only ever competed under a British boxing licence. User chooses to ignore all the various BLP lead section guidelines including MOS:ETHNICITY, MOS:IDENTITY, and MOS:FIRSTBIO. After initially using an unreliable content aggregator as a source, they have now brought up one source which labels him as such, but the sole inclusion of this fails NPOV, WP:WEIGHT, and WP:FRINGE.

    I briefly considered WP:DR, but believe it is unnecessary because this is a clearcut case of a user not understanding the above guidelines, and refusing to engage in discussion. Without making this a conduct issue, they do appear to make a habit out of not using sources correctly or misinterpreting them, and have received numerous warnings by other experienced users. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 17:41, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • No violation. There was edit-warring in March, but there is no violation weeks later. Based on a very cursory review of ActionHeroesAreReal's edits, I think the best place to address the user's edits is WP:ANI. Include whatever evidence you feel is appropriate, but at a minimum you should include previous edit-warring, not only on this article but on others, and you should also note personal attacks in edit summaries. I'm not comfortable unilaterally blocking without more evidence, and this is not the board to provide that evidence.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:02, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
