Please read before accusing someone of edit warring

Edit Warring (3RR) Edit warring is a behavior, typically exemplified by the use of confrontational edits to win a content dispute. It is different than 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.

To request an examination of an editor who is suspected of edit warring visit the Administrator's Noticeboard Edit Warring page and follow the instructions there.
