Lightning Rod article[edit]

Information icon Screamscape does not actually confirm that there are only two trains. The exact statement says, "I'm hearing that they may bump up to two-train operations by the end of the week". Rumor and speculation are not permitted on Wikipedia. That statement also doesn't rule out the possibility of 3 or 4 trains. Keep in mind that Screamscape.com is a website dedicated to the latest breaking news, which by its very nature, isn't always the most accurate. It's usually best to wait for additional sources to confirm early reports, and RCDB.com is one of those sites that does an excellent job verifying specifications. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia; we're in no rush to post breaking news stories. It would be best for you to start a new discussion on the article's talk page to further discuss the issue, if you believe it is necessary. Please do not continue to make edits to the article in an attempt to edit war. Doing so can and will lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you. --GoneIn60 (talk) 18:05, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your response on my talk page. Please keep the discussion civil and refrain from personal attacks. If you would like to discuss possible sources that back up the claim, I am willing to do so here or on the article talk page, considering you are willing to stay calm and work together. If you have any questions about Wikipedia policies and guidelines, I can help with those as well. --GoneIn60 (talk) 18:38, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

June 2016[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Lightning Rod (roller coaster). 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.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. 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; 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.
In this situation, you should discuss your rationale for change on the article's talk page. If you do so, please be sure to keep the discourse civil in tone and do not attack other editors if their opinion differs from your own. -- McDoobAU93 19:11, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion[edit]

Information icon 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. Thank you. GoneIn60 (talk) 03:21, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Lightning Rod (roller coaster) 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 article's 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.
Please stop adding this. I researched the article you were trying to link and it makes no reference to the number of trains the ride will operate. -- McDoobAU93 18:36, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 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 first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

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.

The full report is at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Gcook3354241 reported by User:GoneIn60 (Result: Blocked). Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 03:29, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
