December 2013

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to Arab people does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history.

The edit summary appears in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! NeilN ^{talk to me} 20:07, 7 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

i did not engaged in an edit war. you are engaged in an edit war.--Cogsipeacre (talk) 21:55, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to French Madagascar with this edit, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. ... discospinster _talk 22:03, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to French Madagascar with this edit, you may be blocked from editing. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 22:23, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring. 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 the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, 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. Acroterion (talk) 23:06, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Decline reason:

English-as-a-nonnative-language grammar aside, you did indeed not only engage in an edit war but you crossed the bright line: one, two, three and the rule-breaking fourth revert within not just the usual 24 hours but one single hour—WOW! Is that a record for fastest 3RR violation? I should find out. — Daniel Case (talk) 00:18, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

For when your block expires: please post concerns/suggestions at Talk:Arab_people before making major changes. This is standard practice for articles such as this that cover a broad and potentially contentious content. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 00:34, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel Case, nah, I've seen faster WP:3RR violations than that. Flyer22 (talk) 01:01, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I actually figured there were; upon further reflection it can be done in a minute. I was going to suggest we have a table somewhere, but that goes against this. Oh well. Daniel Case (talk) 01:06, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Some advice

As your edits are being reverted by multiple editors on multiple articles, you need to use the talk pages to fully explain your changes and wait until there is consensus to make your change. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 00:34, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
