Hello, I'm Widr. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to The Richardson Gang because it did not appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Widr (talk) 15:01, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at The Richardson Gang shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. 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. Widr (talk) 15:02, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
- Further to the above, please note that articles are not an indiscriminate collection of information. The article is about the gang, not about any 'extended family'. Furthermore, the statement is unsourced, and since it makes a claim regarding living individuals, falls within the remit of our Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons policy, which states that material which is "unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately". I am going to remove the material again - and suggest that you leave it that way. Non-compliance with policy can lead to contributors being blocked from editing.
