The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve.

Happy First Edit Day!

Edit-warring noticeboard

Hello! I'm having issues with a certain user on the edit-warring noticeboard. After violating the three-revert rule (despite being warned to stop edit-warring), they proceeded to revert one of my own edits (a diff I posted as evidence of disruption) on the noticeboard. From what I understand, Wikipedia users are never supposed to revert or edit other users' edits on talk pages or noticeboards—even typos. And that user is now still litigating content issues[1] six hours after your warning[2] to stop. Israell (talk) 02:41, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

And this is? Come on. DatGuy^Talk_Contribs 03:48, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

I only replied because they made a false assertion about what I typed elsewhere, which is not fair to me, but I am no longer replying to them (I did not reply to their latest reply). I'll no longer engage with them. Israell (talk) 03:57, 27 November 2025 (UTC)
