  Hello, I'm McGeddon. I noticed that you made a change to an article, CAPTCHA, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. McGeddon (talk) 10:56, 2 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Repeatedly adding the same content

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 CAPTCHA. 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.--McGeddon (talk) 13:03, 14 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at CAPTCHA, you may be blocked from editing. McGeddon (talk) 20:36, 17 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

  This is your last warning. The next time you violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by inserting unpublished information or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at CAPTCHA, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

Blocked

edit
 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for your disruption caused by edit warring and violation of the three-revert rule. 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 would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. —C.Fred (talk) 20:52, 17 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

You must discuss the change and get support to have it added

edit

I have undone your latest attempt to add the same text to the CAPTCHA article. The problem is, multiple editors oppose your change, so it looks like there is clear consensus against the text. If you want to change the consensus, you must discuss at Talk:CAPTCHA. Continuing to add the same text over and over counts as edit warring. It's disruptive and could lead to a long-term block on the account.

You may also want to take a look at the information page on the BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. The cycle applies to your edit: you've made a bold change, and other editors have reverted it, so now we've reached the discussion phase. You need to discuss the edits before you try to make them again. —C.Fred (talk) 14:01, 22 February 2013 (UTC)Reply
