Edit warring warning

Your recent editing history at United Nations 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.

Notice of Neutral point of view noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Ythlev (talk) 11:30, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

September 2019

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for edit warring, as you did at United Nations. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

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.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Bbb23 (talk) 17:07, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:

@Bbb23: I clearly did not engage in edit-warring as I was restoring a wikipedia page to remove content that has no consensus per WP:NOCONSENSUS and user Ythlev's violated your ruling on to not revert/include the disputed content prior to reaching consensus FIRST.[1] I did not nothing wrong and you are haphazardly banning me. Wadaad (talk) 17:16, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You kept on reverting to your preferred version of the page. Even if you are correct and this was the consensus version, it was pretty clearly edit-warring. Yamla (talk) 17:26, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:

@Yamla: & @Bbb23: I was clearly not edit-warring as I was explaining to user Ythlev WHY the content was being removed in the edit summaries (following WP:NOCONSENSUS)

In discussions of proposals to add, modify or remove material in articles, a lack of consensus commonly results in retaining the version of the article as it was prior to the proposal or bold edit.

Furthermore, I was in the process of reporting the user (see this [2] and this [3]). These are not the signs of an 'edit warrior' but a person following wikipedia's rules. Neither did I violate WP:3RR nor was I the first[4] to re-introduce the disputed content. I did not violate any of wikipedia's policies and I have a feeling that I am being haphazardly banned. Wikipedia is becoming practically unusable for me if I keep getting treated like this. My prior one-week ban was for protecting a page from a sock puppeteer (see this as further investigation revealed that I was right on the sock [5]) and my current one month ban is for restoring material that had no consensus following all the steps according to wikipedia. These are not the hallmarks of a disruptive editor but signs of haphazard admin decision making. Wadaad (talk) 17:31, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Just because you explain why you are edit warring does not make it okay. Being correct is not a defense to edit warring, as everyone in an edit war thinks that they are correct. This is clearly stated in the edit warring policy. Edit warriors often report each other, too. Again, that doesn't make your edit warring okay. Unless you take some ownership of the disruption you contributed to, the block will not be removed early. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 18:30, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:

In retrospect, I see that I have overstepped my bounds. I was wrong and committed edit warring while I should have used other avenues like the talk page and noticeboards. I should have respected Bbb23's stern warning. I am sorry for this. I have carefully read WP:EW and I believe that I now truly understand this policy and won't ever breach it again. I also realize that edit warring can be there even when under the 3RR. I apologize for my misconduct. I am one of the few active Somali wikipedia editors, a severely underrepresented population and I am primarily here to help improve Somali related pages and fact-check material involving Somalia or Somalis. I support the wikipedia project and its goals and values and hope to become a better contributor. I deeply apologize for my mistakes. Wadaad (talk) 15:04, 22 September 2019 (UTC)

Proposal

Assalamu alaykom,

I would also like to invite you to the Talk:List of sovereign states and dependent territories in Asia#asia countries classification as there are some pro Israeli POV editors that are trying to break consensus and bring Palestine to the same humiliating classification as Taiwan. I’d figure you come state your opinion
