User talk:Freescott

November 2023

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Milk chocolate. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
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 and 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. Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Online) 20:00, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Freescott reported by User:Yoshi24517 (Result: ). Thank you. Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Online) 20:04, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for edit warring, as you did at Milk chocolate. 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 review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Aoidh (talk) 20:06, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was in the process of writing on the noticeboard to say it has now been resolved and that I won't be making any more reverts, and sorry to have gone over the allowed amount. I'll be more careful next time. Freescott (talk) 20:07, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding "allowed amount", please read Wikipedia:Edit warring, specifically The three-revert rule is a convenient limit for occasions when an edit war is happening fairly quickly; it is not a definition of "edit warring", and it is absolutely possible to engage in edit warring without breaking the three-revert rule, or even coming close to doing so and the section at WP:3RR that says The rule is not an entitlement to revert a page a specific number of times. When it is known there is a disagreement about changes made to an article, WP:BRD should be followed and discussion should take place on the article's talk page to get consensus for the edit rather than repeatedly reverting to the preferred changes, as referenced above. Moving forward please keep this in mind, thank you. - Aoidh (talk) 20:16, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yep will do. Ta. Freescott (talk) 20:18, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Veverve. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Catholic Bible seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Veverve (talk) 20:21, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Commission Directive 91/71/EEC, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. NoNAja (talk) 20:40, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Freescott (talk) 20:44, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
