can this be used to violate the three reverts edit warring rule 119.234.4.105 (talk) 01:08, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- The full article reads -
- Can you provide an example where violating the three-revert rule would improve or maintain Wikipedia? - Butwhatdoiknow (talk) 01:32, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- Good faith reverts to remove vandalism is one example (however, since this is an exception to 3RR that is spelled out in that guideline, I suppose it isn’t a “violation”). Blueboar (talk) 02:21, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
Ahem.
I have taken the extraordinary step of fully protecting this highly-visible, highly-linked page from live edit warring. Everybody likes WP:BOLD until hackles go up. We've seen bold. We've seen revert. Now shall we DISCUSS this disputed change? BusterD (talk) 22:07, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
Merging proposal
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I think we should merge this page, WP:IAR? into WP:IAR. This page is a very simple page that doesn't say much, but I think when we merge IAR? into this page, it will give readers a better understanding of what IAR is and what it is not. Interstellarity (talk) 22:15, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose - This is one policy that's useful to keep simple and to the point IMO. As with the spirit of the rule, it makes for a nice contrast with the rest. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:21, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose - It's been proposed many times, but keeping this very simple page simple has consistently been the consensus. --Onorem (talk) 22:24, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose WP:IAR? and WP:IAR is a textbook example of why we have Template:Supplement - that is instructional creep.Moxy🍁 22:28, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose as per comments above. The separation is fine and simple is not always best.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 22:30, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose, per above. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:46, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose In addition to the other reasons, it's strength is its brevity, focus and directness. Like the Google home page, the blankness is the most coveted place to want to put something to get noticed. Or like preferring to smoke in the no-smoking section because there are no smokers in it. :-) North8000 (talk) 03:55, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
