User talk:Direct action

August 2014

Your recent editing history at Pogrom shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. 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.
You've already broken WP:3RR and are liable to be blocked. I'm giving you some time more to revert your last "undo", because of which you broke the 3RR. If you do not revert your "undo" on your own soon, you will be blocked for a period of 24 hours. Subsequent edit warring will see increasing blocks. Kindly read up WP:edit warring and attempt to stay away from such situations. Wifione ^Message 12:12, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

For historical purposes, since no one is going to read my humble little talk page anyway and I'll probably archive this, and since I can't help but marvel at the absurdity... that's quite an interesting use of the noun "work". If I add content citing reliable sources, and then someone comes along and deletes that content while adding nothing to the article, that somehow counts as "work"; by re-adding the content, I'm "undoing another editor's work". A net loss somehow represents active production. I suppose it's like when you're working in the kitchen of a restaurant, when you prepare a customer's meal and then put the plate up on the serving rack for a waiter to take out to the table, and one of your colleagues suddenly grabs the plate and dumps the food all over the floor. In cleaning up the mess, you're "undoing another's work". Yep. Direct action (talk) 22:24, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
