April 2013 edit

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Robert L. Hite. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 01:46, 20 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism, such as the edit at Doolittle Raid, are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage newer editors. Please read Wikipedia:NOTVAND for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Thank you. The Bushranger One ping only 01:58, 20 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Robert L. Hite. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.

  • If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
  • If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. redirected per, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robert L. Hite, if you disagree take it to WP:DRV. Otherwise, community consensus was that this individual did not meet Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines. EricSerge (talk) 01:59, 20 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

  This is your last warning. The next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at User talk:Bgwhite, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. If you continue to restore articles against consensus at Articles for Deletion you will be blocked.

You have been blocked from editing indefinitly for vandalism, personal attacks and disruptive editing, as you did here, and for sockpuppetry as detailed here. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  The Bushranger One ping only 02:09, 20 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
