Restoring your own edits without discussion

Your recent editing history shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, or that you may have already broken it. 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. Breaking the three-revert rule often leads to a block.

If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can 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 may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Occupy Las Vegas. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you and happy editing! pluma Ø 00:12, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide an edit summary. Why did you make that edit to Occupy Las Vegas? It removed a lot of content, so I would like to know why you made it. Could you tell me on my talk page? Thank you. pluma Ø 00:26, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So you want to be blocked?

Because that's what constantly reverting sourced edits without providing edit summaries or citing sources for the new material will do for you. Further reverts over at Occupy Las Vegas won't help, but if you back down now, the block may be short, and you'll have a chance to bring in sources for your edits and discuss why those should be used instead of the ones currently uses.

Please stop.

Please stop. The standard on wikipedia is not "truth," it is "verifiability." You have to be able to prove what you are saying is "true" by using citations to other sources, such as news reports. You are not helping your cause by constantly changing the text back. Instead, please participate on the Talk:Occupy Las Vegas page so we can discuss how to restore a Neutral Point of View. --VegasHombre (talk) 01:01, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for your disruption caused by edit warring and violation of the three-revert rule at Occupy Las Vegas. 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 would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
