Notice re: edit war at Hawaii

edit
 

Your recent editing history at Hawaii shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 19:51, 14 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

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.  - Barek (talkcontribs) - 20:01, 14 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Peaceray. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Hawaii without properly explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary.

You have deleted content from the Hawaii article leaving edit summaries that state "Sources are not credible or reliable," "Please cite references from reliable sources," & "This is political propaganda disseminated by a fringe political group." This is clearly absurd, since the sources cited are Hawaii Business Magazine, Bloomberg Businessweek, Honolulu Star-Bulletin, & the Hawaii State Legislature. Since you are deleting material referenced with valid & respected sources, I can only conclude that you are in violation of Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. I invite you to review the information suppression section of the Wikipedia:NPOV tutorial. Please refrain from edit warring & disruptive editing.

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 11:14, 19 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
