3rr issue

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on LaVan Davis. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 23:42, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for a period of 24 hours as a result of your disruptive edits. You are free to make constructive edits after the block has expired, but please note that vandalism (including page blanking or addition of random text), spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks; and repeated, blatant violations of our policies concerning neutral point of view and biographies of living persons will not be tolerated.

RE:Edit summaries

Please use edit summaries, as I have no idea why you reverted. Any evidence to the contrary? Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP! :)} 01:31, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of I Can Do Bad All By Myself (film)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article I Can Do Bad All By Myself (film), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Future films are not notable without substantial coverage in independent reliable sources. None provided, none found.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Proposed deletion of List of Tyler Perry's House of Payne recurring cast members

The article List of Tyler Perry's House of Payne recurring cast members has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not notable, poorly written.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — The Man in Question (in question) 09:02, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
