Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring
This page is for reporting active edit warriors and recent violations of restrictions like the three-revert rule.
- See this guide for instructions on creating diffs for this report.
- If you see that a user may be about to violate the three-revert rule, consider warning them by placing {{subst:uw-3rr}} on their user talk page.
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.

User repeatedly reverting to their preferred version despite multiple other users challenging. tony 02:27, 14 January 2026 (UTC)
- This is covered under exemption #7, harm to living individuals, some of whom are mentioned by name. Editors have attempted to restore politically biased ethnic stereotypes/attacks against an entire ethnic group based on a source that has been disputed as bad, without a consensus. This fear mongering about an ethnic group is leading to real people being hurt.[13] I also want to note that Tony is involved. Luna (talk) 03:32, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

- I was about to post myself, worth noting that multiple editors, self included, have advised this user of edit warring and 3RR, asked for them to make constructive discussions on talk instead of mass reverting and edit warring, but this user appears to believe in having a unique exemption to edit warring and 3rr rules as shown above.

- KiharaNoukan has been reverting while being aware that he is violating the "harm to living individuals" rule based on contentious material from a questionable source.[14][15][16][17] He is the one who added it.
- His top edited pages are Hunter Biden laptop controversy, Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory, Killing of Jordan Neely, Operation Lone Star, Hunter Biden, Project 2025, and while this is fine, the positions he takes in the talk page discussions for those incidents leads me to believe his source evaluation may not be impartial.

Comments:
Over the past ten days, the editor @Milotss has repeatedly made contested edits to the articles Zufer Avdija and Deni Avdija, as well as removed well-sourced material from the List of Serbian NBA players. Both individuals are documented in reliable sources as holding dual Israeli and Serbian citizenship (examples: here, here, and here), and this information is clearly cited in the respective articles. The disputed edits appear to replace references to Serbia with Kosovo, based on an interpretation of the 2008 declaration of independence. This seems to conflate citizenship/nationality with ethnic or regional origin, and the changes are not supported by the sources currently cited in the articles. I am raising this here to seek consensus and guidance on maintaining source-based distinctions between citizenship and ethnicity, and to avoid unsourced or interpretive changes. --DragonFederal (talk) 07:41, 15 January 2026 (UTC)

- Respectfully, this is not accurate. This temporary account has been banned from the page where they are editing due to repeated efforts to revert edits despite consensus to keep them. This sort of behavior is clearly abusive and suggestive of sockpuppet behavior. Look at the edit history on the page they cite.

Comments:
Editor has a history of reverting or writing over my edits on various articles. In this case the editor has uploaded an unsourced photo with a verifiably incorrect caption and is trying to use it as the main photo for an article which it does not match. Although I have informed them it is mislabeled and misleading to use in the talk page and edited it on the article, they simply disregard this as "original research" and keep reverting it back.
- Hi all. For my side of the story, if I recall correctly the 3RR states that "An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page", so four reverts (a limit I had in mind), evidence of which Adachi doesn't seemed to have provided. ,
Furthermore, I want to establish that I have tried explaining why Adachi's edits were not appropriate in the article talk page. What was objected to was Adachi1939 replacing a picture caption with synthesized unsourced information. I tried explaining to him several times that per WP:NOR we are not supposed to integrate our own judgements into the article.[46][47][48][49]
Rather than discuss, Adachi's course of action was to insult me[50]. Then mock me[51]. Then insult me (a lot of times) again [52]. All while constantly reentering his disputed caption back before receiving a consensus. [53][54][55] (an example of edit-warring according to the standard Adachi put above). I find this particularly inappropriate that he chose to do this on an article detailing an enormous atrocity involving massacres and slavery. When I attempted to draw a line out of respect for the content, he insulted me again.[56]
I suspect that Adachi is just trying to get me banned so I can't contest his edits. He has tried this before unsuccessfully. [57] There was a lack of genuine engagement with my points (save for insults) until he alleged I stepped over the 3RR line (which I didn't) and immediately brought the issue here. I'd like to work with editors, but at the same time I don't like bully behavior.
I'm happy to discuss. Wahreit (talk) 03:14, 17 January 2026 (UTC)Wahreit
- It must be noted that this is standard behavior from the user. If it helps, here's a list of this "history" adachi mentioned (a lot of its archived but still visible. He also archived almost his entire talk page today after making this edit warring post). Specifically:
- - Threatening editors: [58]
- - Pursuing an ownership approach: [59][60][61][62]
- - Mocking other editors [63][64][65][66][67]
- That was before we met.
- Here's some past interactions including ownership approaches, edit warring, insults, and trying to report me to get me banned: [68][69][70][71][72]
- Note that these incidents are from 2024. What seems concerning is how it seems he has been trying to get revenge on me for the last one and a half years.
- He constantly interjects in conversations I have with other editors uninvited to accuse and insult me: [73][74][75]
- He pays visits to my talk page to accuse me: [76][77]
- He recently appeared in a talk page debate I was in (that he must have gotten from viewing my activity log, something he admitted to [78]), not to contribute to the conversation but to attack me and offer his future help to anyone opposing me: [79][80]
- At this point Adachi really seems to have crossed multiple lines and has not been respecting anyone's boundaries or Wikipedia's rules. It's also disheartening to see him behave this way on super heavy pages like the Nanjing Massacre. I initially planned to ignore it, but seeing how he has brought me here a second time, I can't remain silent about this anymore. Wahreit (talk) 03:53, 17 January 2026 (UTC)
- It's almost like a deju vu looking back at some of these interactions. My first interaction with Wahreit some two years ago was them using unreliable sources to allege a unit not involved in the Battle of Sihang Warehouse was in fact the main participating force. As the talk page and edit history shows, theg remained entrenched in this belief for months despite the overwhelming evidence of the contrary. To this day they have not taken responsibility nor apologized, despite levying numerous accusations at me over those months. Fast forward to today and they are still engaged in similar behavior, this time using a photo of a totally unrelated unit in an attempt to illustrate an article. Wahreit seems to think I have a personal issue with him but I don't, the problem is his poor quality edits and behavior he uses to defend then. Looking at his edits, he often cites unreliable (eg webpage with no sources) or outdated material (random newspaper from 1937) and appears to suffer from an overall lack of the subject they're engaging with. For example despite editing many articles on the Second Sino-Japanese War, he does not consult modern scholarship in either Chinese or Japanese, and then takes issue when what he has not consulted does not align with his older English sources. For all I know Wahreit is a splendid person outside of Wikipedia, but he has proven to be a problem on several Wikipedia articles. Adachi1939 (talk) 05:20, 17 January 2026 (UTC)
- Wahreit also seems to be trying to coverup his harassment of me on his talk page. A quick glance through his edit history shows myself and other editors he disagrees with are treated to various forms of badmouthing across personal talk pages. I am not a well-versed Wikipedian but as far as I knew the personal talk pages were meant to facilitate cross-article discussion and collaboration, not serve as some sort of gossip forum. Adachi1939 (talk) 05:30, 17 January 2026 (UTC)
- @Adachi1939
- All your complaints are content issues that could have easily been resolved on their respective talk pages had you refrained from resorting to insults and immediately escalating here.
- Furthermore, you are not forced to be on my talk page, and when you do visit, you accuse me of spreading propaganda, call me "smug", and make a variety of other comments about my life decisions, value as a person, and mental state that I do not appreciate. At some point @Adachi1939, you need to realize that people do not like being talked down to and that if you want respect, you need to give it. Wahreit (talk) 06:34, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

A quick glance through his edit history shows myself and other editors he disagrees with are treated to various forms of badmouthing across personal talk pages. I am not a well-versed Wikipedian but as far as I knew the personal talk pages were meant to facilitate cross-article discussion and collaboration, not serve as some sort of gossip forum.

- It's almost like a deju vu looking back at some of these interactions. My first interaction with Wahreit some two years ago was them using unreliable sources to allege a unit not involved in the Battle of Sihang Warehouse was in fact the main participating force. As the talk page and edit history shows, theg remained entrenched in this belief for months despite the overwhelming evidence of the contrary. To this day they have not taken responsibility nor apologized, despite levying numerous accusations at me over those months. Fast forward to today and they are still engaged in similar behavior, this time using a photo of a totally unrelated unit in an attempt to illustrate an article. Wahreit seems to think I have a personal issue with him but I don't, the problem is his poor quality edits and behavior he uses to defend then. Looking at his edits, he often cites unreliable (eg webpage with no sources) or outdated material (random newspaper from 1937) and appears to suffer from an overall lack of the subject they're engaging with. For example despite editing many articles on the Second Sino-Japanese War, he does not consult modern scholarship in either Chinese or Japanese, and then takes issue when what he has not consulted does not align with his older English sources. For all I know Wahreit is a splendid person outside of Wikipedia, but he has proven to be a problem on several Wikipedia articles. Adachi1939 (talk) 05:20, 17 January 2026 (UTC)
