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

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. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:38, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please be advised that edit warring applies to the person and not the account, so using a new IP each time to keep trying to make the same changes over and over again is not going to be seen as being any different as using the same account to do the same thing. Moreover, if by chance you are the same editor as User:Pocketthis, then using IP accounts to edit while under a current block, especially to engage in disruption, is going to be seen as WP:EVADE and WP:SOCK, and will lead to administrators taking action. If you are Pocketthis, my suggestion to you is to either appeal or wait out your current block and then come back to the article talk page to discuss. Any further disruption is only going to lead to longer restrictions placed upon all of the involved accounts. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:44, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You need to stop right now. This is not how Wikipedia works. If you continue on this course, a WP:SPI will be started, which will likely lead to a lengthening of the block for the master account and indefinite blocks for all of the new IP accounts. This has nothing to do about whether the article content is correct. The content was added and then removed on multiple times before, and hopping from one IP to another is edit warring and will not be tolerated. What's going to happen next is that the article will be protected to prevent any further disruption; then all of the sock puppetry and block evasion will be dealt with as needed. If you continue further engage in edit warring, it will only make it much easier for administrator to agree to indefinitely block all of the involved accounts. The choice is yours. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:00, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. BytEfLUSh | Talk 22:12, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
