Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Persecution of Hazara people in Quetta. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. 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. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. SMS ^Talk 21:47, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

You shouldn't do references that way. See wp:citing sources on how to do them. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 23:26, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Persecution of Hazara people in Quetta. 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.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. 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; 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. Sitush (talk) 14:31, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. - Sitush (talk) 15:01, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Look, this is basic policy - all statements made in articles must be verifiable by reference to reliable sources, and if there is a dispute then the first course should be to discuss and attempt to gain consensus rather than to edit war. You will note that I have opened various discussions relating to sources etc at Talk:Persecution of Hazara people in Quetta and that other people have been involved there. Those people, alas, do not include yourself. You will also note that there are at least three people who have disagreed with your edits to the article. - Sitush (talk) 15:05, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of a day for edit warring, as you did at Persecution of Hazara people in Quetta. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

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. Salvio ^{Let's talk about it!} 17:21, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
