You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on West Paterson, New Jersey. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors.

More about West Paterson

I know that you believe that the name has already been changed from West Paterson to Woodland Park. The problem is that the borough's web site still shows the name change as unoffical. This article discusses the fact that provisional ballots must still be counted, before the measure can be considered passed. Even after that, the borough must determine when the name change will take effect. If you have evidence from reliable sources, such as newspapers or magazines, to show that the change is official please provide it and discuss it on the article talk page. Simply changing the name in the article and removing sources showing that the name change has not taken effect would appear to be vandalism. While I think your first block may have been arguably inappropriate, I would hope that you would understand how the collaborative process works in Wikipedia.

Final warning

This is the last warning you will receive about your edits at West Paterson, New Jersey. The next time you update it to Woodland Park without the official name changing occurring, you will be blocked. At this point, the town still calls itself West Paterson and is in the process of deciding when it will officially become Woodland Park. It appears, from the article you linked to as "proof" of it being official, that this will not occur until January at the reorganization meeting, either way (talk) 13:25, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
