You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.--VViking_TalkEdits 16:54, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you self-revert your last edit as you have violated WP:3RR IN SPITE of already being warned about your persistent edit warring (and in this new edit you are deleting other sourced materials in other sections you don't like). You should seek consensus on the Neoliberalism talk page (not my user talk page) before making further deletions of reliably sourced materials simply because you don't like it--C.J.

Wikipedia's technical logs indicate that this user account has been or may be used abusively. It has been blocked indefinitely from editing to prevent abuse.

Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.

Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or by administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting with a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee. Administrators who undo checkuser blocks without permission from a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee may be summarily desysopped.

Request reason:

I've only just noticed my account is blocked. I maintain that the neoliberalism article has been abused to encompass all forms of capitalism, instead of only the Freedman\Hayek\Thatcher extreme form. I stand by my sourced\cited discussion on this topic: https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Talk:Neoliberalism&oldid=932255832 By comparison, the counter argument offered nothing but someone's opinion, with no supporting facts. By this opinion, Scandinavia is neoliberal, which is patently false. I am an occasional writer, and all my other edits have received no complaints. Nearly four years have passed and I have no plans to further edit the neoliberal page. Please unblock me.

Decline reason:

What a bizarre unblock request. None of this has anything to do with your block. Yamla (talk) 11:34, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

Yamla, pls can you elaborate on why you consider this unblock request "bizarre"? My unblock request raised the neoliberalism issue, which is the article I was blocked about. It takes two sides to edit war. I have no plans to edit this article. I have been blocked for nearly four years. I believe a permanent ban is excessive considering there have been no complaints about my editing of other articles.

Decline reason:

You weren't blocked for any article. You're blocked for abusing multiple accounts. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 14:44, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You are blocked for violating WP:SOCK but don't even mention this in your unblock request. --Yamla (talk) 13:46, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
