Block

I really doubt you had no prior knowledge of WP:3RR, since you signed up on the 10th of June and have been a prollific editor. That is why I blocked you without waiting for you to revert after the warning. However, If I am incorrect, my apologies - I hope you have taken the chance to calm down, and will now discuss the matter rather than edit warring. Viridae^Talk 21:24, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, just looking back through your Archives, I notice that someone reffered you to WP:REVERT, which has a paragraph on the three revert rule, and links to the appropriate policy page. Viridae^Talk 21:26, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Furthermore you have been blocked for 3RR once already before I blocked you. Viridae^Talk 21:28, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Please look at your block log.. It shows I didnt say anything about personal attacks, and it also shows your first block on wikipedia was for 3RR (which was changed to repeated removal of copyright tags). Viridae^Talk 04:29, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

The NPA is in the summary. I will find where I got that from. Viridae^Talk 04:30, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Having looked further, I found that the edit summary of "WP:3RR/WP:NPA Block notice" was because that happened to be the section header of where I posted your block notice. I said nothing about WP:NPA and it played no part in your block. You broke a policy which I have demonstrated you should have good knowledge of, please stop makiing a fuss, and get back to editing the encyclopedia. I really see no point in arguing further.

If you have a look at the policy page at WP:3RR you will see that a revert includes continually reinserting (or deleting) the same piece of text. It doesnt necessarily have to be a physical revert. I have had a look at the edit history for the page you mentioned, and you most definately broke 3RR. The block was probobly changed becuase, being new to the encyclopedia you would not then have had any idea of the policy. Viridae^Talk 06:41, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
