User talk:Concordeia

November 2018

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring, as you did at Esteban Ocon. 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 ~~~~}}. Longhair\^talk 05:12, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This blocked user is asking that their block be reviewed on the Unblock Ticket Request System:

Ok, a few things that need to be explained

I talked with the other admin, who has unblocked you.

At first glance, it looked like you were edit warring. Edit warring not simply "editing the article too much." The usual standard is "making more than three reverts in 24 hours" (but we'll also block someone who is clearly sitting there and waiting for the 25 hour to come by for their fourth revert).

Upon closer inspection, you were removing material that was vandalism. That term does get used too loosely by some new users but in this case it was correct. It's still a good idea to review what is not vandalism. Basically, if you could imagine that they might somehow think they're improving the site (even if they're wrong), it's probably not vandalism.

In the future, leave warnings on user talk pages instead of just reverting blindly. You can find plenty of templates at Wikipedia:Template_messages/User_talk_namespace.

If a user is not engaged in vandalism, go to the article's talk page to discuss the issue there (signing your posts with four tildes, like ~~~~).

All of that is to help users, especially admins, have a clearer idea of what's going on, to prevent episodes like what just happened.

Anyway...

Welcome!

Personal

Thank you, Ian! I'm sorry for the excessive reverts, I wasn't aware at the start. I will make sure to not do it again. Thank you, once again! Concordeia (talk) 05:36, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, no need to apologize. Reverting vandalism is one of the few exceptions to the three revert rule, which was why I brought up the idea of unblocking you.

Also, we have this tutorial that you may want to try to help get the hang of editing here. Ian.thomson (talk) 05:38, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Will do. Thank you once again. Concordeia (talk) 05:40, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was the administrator who blocked you. I understand now you were trying to protect the article and hence unblocked your account. Please take the time to warn others you engage in conflict with because from my look at the situation and limited knowledge of the topic it looked as though you were both arguing over content without discussing a thing. Happy editing from here... sorry for the brief time out and harsh welcome... welcome aboard and thanks for helping. -- Longhair\^talk 05:41, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
