    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.

    Korfiatis2007 created their account yesterday, and immediately started edit warring on Turco-Albanians and House of Kastrioti. On the former they have made source misrepresentation, as explained by me on the tp; on the latter they have been opposed by 2 established editors. Korfiatis also shows a battleground mentality by making baseless accusations of "hounding" [3] and "bullying" [4]. Ktrimi991 (talk) 16:32, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    My first edits have been being disruptively reverted. After engaging in tp (see here), in no way was it established my initial addition was mispresentating the source, as is being claimed here, since the original reverter admitted in the tp the source does back what was claimed. In any case, my original addition that was reverted has not been restored anywhere in the article. I continued to improve other aspects of the article.
    Disruptive mass baseless reverting continued on House of Kastrioti article, as @Βατο has been engaging in edit waring there too (see this tp and my original addition that was reverted by the same in no time). Korfiatis2007 (talk) 19:53, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Regarding source misrepresentation, I have explained it on the tp and the admins can check it. After the warning Bato did not revert again, you did. Hence I am reporting only you. Ktrimi991 (talk) 19:58, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]


    Comment: Korfiatis2007 appears to be a new user, with only ~25 contribs, starting yesterday. It's possible they may not realize that a partial rv counts towards 3RR. I am also concerned that we may have a case of WP:BITE of a newcomer here [6]. I would volunteer to mentor Korfiatis2007 if that would help and there is agreement from them. Khirurg (talk) 20:05, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Last time you wanted to "mentor" an editor, you told them to see me as an "enemy" [7] and they got blocked indefinitely. I can make a long list of disruptive editors who you "advised" and got blocked within days after your "advice". Your idea might not be a good one for the editor. Ktrimi991 (talk) 20:14, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    They had at the time I made the block (well, within the past 15 minutes) been advised as to both EW and CTOPS. Daniel Case (talk) 20:21, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I started a talk page discussion but you ignored it. SequiturBlur (talk) 06:11, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    You just started the discussion just then, AFTER being blocked, not before. GraziePrego (talk) 07:07, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Comments: They have made the same unexplained deletions at The invasion of Panama seven times and been reverted by several editors. The first two edits were by IP but they then created an account and have reverted five times. They are also doing identical edits at Spanish–American War (Five reverts) & United States invasion of Grenada (Four edits). The accounts only edits are disruptive editing to these pages.

    Comments:

    Long-term edit-warring by same user, attempting to add the same POV to the lead each time. After the initial edit-warring and discussion, they now seem to be waiting and repeating the edit every few days. They haven't made any other constructive edits in the meantime.
