Please stop making disruptive edits, as you did at Alien: Covenant.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Reb1981 (talk) 18:08, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Aztec Empire shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that 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. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Seriously, please read and understand these warnings. Edit-warring is not acceptable on Wikipedia. Disputes will happen, but you need to use the article talk page or other means of dispute resolution if that doesn't work. You're past the 3 revert limit on the Alien Covenant page and at the 3 revert limit on Aztec Empire. Continuing as you are will end up with you being blocked from editing. You need to stop reverted, discuss the issue on the talk page and get consensus before any changes. Ravensfire (talk) 18:26, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please use Talk:Aztec Empire now

With of course academic sources. I don't see how the conventional long-form name can work with something with no official long-form name. Doug Weller talk 18:21, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

[edit]

Information icon Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:BoxRox reported by User:Ravensfire (Result: ). Thank you. Ravensfire (talk) 18:35, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I realize you are a new editor...

[edit]

but please read the warning messages and notes that others have left you and understand that you need to change your editing style. Nobody wants to see a new editor get blocked, but when they ignore all warnings and continue to force their preferred edits into an article, that's what will happen. There isn't consensus on the talk page - that's very clear from even a quick skim of the article. Multiple editors have reverted you, meaning they object to the edit. You gotta stop or you will end up blocked. Discuss on the talk page using reliable sources that are secondary, not primary. We go with how those secondary sources describe something. Please self-revert your last change and promise to wait until consensus develops on the talk page and that you will follow that consensus. I pointed you above to other steps you can take, but here it is again - Dispute Resolution options. If the talk page discussion doesn't form a consensus or you disagree with it, use the steps there.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.  Widr (talk) 18:50, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

BoxRox, re: this and this, you don't have consensus for those changes. As I explained in that discussion, your remedy is to seek further input from experienced editors, for example at the Indian cinema task force, or you could invite them directly to that existing conversation. I may wind up doing this for you. Note that consensus is not determined through voting, it's determined through strength of arguments, and contrary to your grossly erroneous assertion that consensus is not achieved through discussion, it very much is, and until you achieve that consensus, the status quo should remain. Your claim "This was agreed upon in Talk Section" is asinine since you and I have pretty much been the only people discussing the matter and we are in disagreement. Anyhow, the point is, if you continue to submit this content before consensus is established, it will be considered edit-warring. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:37, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Thank you. Home Lander (talk) 18:50, 12 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Alien: Covenant, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.
