editHello, I'm Rehevkor. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

He is absolutely right. Please read WP:PROMOTION. Your addition pretty clearly violates point #1. Please stop re-adding it. Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 18:13, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
Maybe you both should read the Soapbox rule. There was nothing in my post that wasn't neutral. "An article can report objectively about such things, as long as an attempt is made to describe the topic from a neutral point of view"
- You are very clearly trying to bring attention and support to a fan petition in order to make developers change their game. It's pretty obvious to see you're trying to promote a cause. Also, please see WP:ELNO point #4, where is clearly says you're not to be linking to online petitions.
- Now, it's one thing if the things gets up to a million signatures and IGN, GameSpot, and other big video game websites are doing stories on it. (For example, the huge fan outcry regarding the ending of Mass Effect 3.) But as long as it's just a couple thousand noisy fans starting up a random petition, its not notable enough to be mentioned on Wikipedia. (3,000 signatures is very insiginicant on the internet.) As such, please do not re-add. Continuing to re-add it without WP:CONSENSUS could lead to you getting blocked. Sergecross73 msg me 18:54, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
- Sergecross73 is of course correct. You mentioned on my talk page that you had "tons" of magazine sources to support it, why not bring these up at Talk:Thief (video game) and we can discuss it without edit warring? Яehevkor ✉ 19:00, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
Your recent editing history 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. Яehevkor ✉ 18:42, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
