[edit]

Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

Just to expand on this - please take a look at WP:BRD. You made an edit; I disagreed and reverted it. The onus is now on you to discuss your proposed change and gain consensus for it. Reinstating an edit after it has been reverted without further discussion is not the done thing. Best GirthSummit (blether) 08:53, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Sylvester the Cat shows that you are currently 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. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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.

Information icon Please do not attack other editors, as you did at User talk:Girth Summit. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Daniel Case (talk) 02:57, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

understood!?

Look GirlSummit I was re posting the same comment because some has some with swear words on them so I try to not sound rude. TONE-TONE59 (talk) 07:21, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TONE-TONE59, yes, I understood that, although it was actually another editor who removed the version with swear words in. Don't worry, I am not offended by swear words, and have quite a thick skin in general terms. My advice to you though would be to avoid making any such comments anywhere on this project - making aggressive comments, even without swear words in, are likely to end up getting your account blocked from editing. No hard feelings on this end anyway, happy editing. GirthSummit (blether) 08:49, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
