March 2018 edit

  Hello, I'm ChiveFungi. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks. --ChiveFungi (talk) 19:01, 25 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Modern display of the Confederate flag, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. If you think the article needs improvement, use its talk page to discuss the matter. If you believe the sources are inadequate, use the reliable sources noticeboard.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Modern display of the Confederate flag. 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.

Seriously, your only realistic chance of getting any changes made is to stop what you're doing and start discussing instead. NewEnglandYankee (talk) 00:58, 30 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

 
Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring, as done at Modern display of the Confederate flag.
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.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 02:17, 30 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

I did not violate the 3 revert rule and was not aware of the rule for edit warring. After the discussion with NewEngland I began discussions on the article's talk page. This was unnecessary as the warning was information enough 47.219.32.108 (talk) 02:25, 30 March 2018 (UTC).Reply

Decline reason:

Looks like editwarring to me. Claiming to be unaware of the rules is not a license to break them. SQLQuery me! 09:51, 30 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
