  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Astra (missile). Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and 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 Wikipedia. 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. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 13:45, 6 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

There is no revision. There is only edition from my side. I see people like Bilcat reverting unnecessarily. Do you add the warning to his page?Longrangerinthesky (talk) 13:47, 6 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

 

Your recent editing history at Astra (missile) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

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.

  This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at User talk:ScrapIronIV, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. ScrpIronIV 13:56, 6 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for persistently making disruptive edits. 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 request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  NeilN talk to me 14:08, 6 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • Do not add that image back. It is misleading and not representative of "facts". It is an improper image to use in that article based on policy, not my editorial perspective. Dennis Brown - 15:20, 6 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
