Speedy deletion nomination of INFOBOXGEO edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on INFOBOXGEO requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Instead, I created WP:INFOBOXGEO. Please note that pages regarding Wikipedia templates, policy, etc should be prefaced with WP to keep them out of the article space. Thanks for your contribution!

I remember seeing short cuts to Manual of Style articles using the "MOS:" prefix on some pages somewhere... Well anyways thanks for correcting me.

WP:INFOBOXGEO edit

Hi just wanted to let you know that some of your recent edit summaries were incorrectly linked to MOS:INFOBOXGEO while they should be linked to WP:INFOBOXGEO. Cheers!--Chamith (talk) 12:08, 9 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

WP:USPLACE edit

There are many reasons why the "X County, State" convention is used in the United States. Did you attempt to gain any kind of consensus for all these moves through discussion? It's been discussed before, at length. Mass-moving articles against consensus is disruptive. Omnedon (talk) 01:38, 10 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

June 2015 edit

  Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Santa Cruz County, California may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s and 2 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Moves edit

When moving articles, please watch the spelling. You recently moved "List of 1998 Nashville tornado outbreak tornadoes" to List of 1998 Nashville, Tennesse tornado outbreak tornadoes, in which "Tennessee" is mis-spelled. But further, did you seek any consensus on moving the neighborhood articles you recently moved? Omnedon (talk) 19:34, 10 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

The current consensus is for associated pages to follow consistent naming patterns, hence Climate of Columbus, Ohio.--Prisencolinensinainciusol (talk) 19:37, 10 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
But "White City, Tulsa" doesn't follow the same naming pattern. Where do you find this consensus? I am simply asking. Omnedon (talk) 19:41, 10 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
WP:USPLACE only talks about NYC neighborhoods using the "place, city" format, but it seems like this is the format used for most us cities.--Prisencolinensinainciusol (talk) 19:47, 10 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
OK, but you might consider bringing up the subject at the appropriate place rather than moving unilaterally again. Omnedon (talk) 19:54, 10 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
"Comma-City" is the appropriate disambiguator if the topic is a neighborhood within a city; "comma-state" is appropriate if the topic is a city or town in its own right. "White City, Tulsa" thus isn't in any conflict with what Prisencolinensinainciusol did — I'm not going to offer an opinion one way or the other on the appropriateness of the page moves, but a neighborhood within Tulsa doesn't have anything to do with the question one way or the other. Bearcat (talk) 20:53, 10 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
...which is why I was questioning the moves. Neighborhoods are not the same as counties or populated places in terms of naming conventions. Where is it stated that "Comma-City" is appropriate for neighborhoods within a city? Having said that -- I'm not particularly invested in neighborhood articles. It's just that these moves follow the pattern of a previous set of moves, most of which I had to spend time to revert. Omnedon (talk) 20:58, 10 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
USPLACE says "Neighborhoods within New York City are identified by the standard neighborhood, borough". Along with other people who have named articles I'm interpreting "borough" to be equivalent to cities, after all every borough was an independent city and are still incorporated municipalities. What are the previous set of moves that you had to revert?--Prisencolinensinainciusol (talk) 21:23, 10 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Yes, that's New York City. You're saying a borough is equivalent to a city? As for the moves I reverted, it was all the county moves you did that removed the state from the title. I put most of them back to their standard locations, and another editor did the rest. I thought you were aware of that. Omnedon (talk) 21:25, 10 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Heh I didn't realize you were being intentionally subtle there, but yeah I am aware of your revets. However this situation is different, either USPLACE needs to be amended to include guidelines for neighborhoods across the country, or those articles themselves need to be fixed.--Prisencolinensinainciusol (talk) 21:28, 10 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Wikipedia consensus seems to think that the five boroughs are each considered cities.--Prisencolinensinainciusol (talk) 21:32, 10 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
But when you say "fixed" -- where does it say that they need to be where you are moving them? If it's not defined anywhere, surely that needs to be discussed first. Omnedon (talk) 21:30, 10 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
It doesn't clearly say it on any official policy as far as I know. I'm sure it has been discussed before but I haven't been able to find an archived discussion yet. Examples of a standardized format can be found here, here, and here--Prisencolinensinainciusol (talk) 21:32, 10 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
This is the point I'm trying to make. You say you are fixing the articles; but you're not using any guideline or discussion to support that. Before doing a lot of moves, consider discussing it first. That's the general takeaway from the county situation, though the specifics are not the same. Omnedon (talk) 21:36, 10 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Having just gone through a bunch of esports-related articles, I'd also advise you to discuss things before going on unilateral moving sprees. Or if there is an ongoing discussion actually wait for it to conclude. Cheers, Jenks24 (talk) 19:46, 13 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Going along the same lines as Jenks24, I've gone through most every esport article, I found that you changed the names for most of them, despite not consulting anyone. You really need to seek consensus on this. I'm not sure if I should revert all your esports moves at this point, as I actually feel very exhausted just looking at the long list of mistakes you made.

Category changes edit

Hi, I noticed that you have made a few good faith attempts to rename categories. Although a recent change in the Wikimedia software now means that the software does not stop you moving category pages, it is still necessary in English Wikipedia to use the process at WP:CFD.

You moved Category:Georgia (country) to a new name, and were then apparently unable to move it back. You then put a redirect at the top, but that was of no effect. I've now reinstated that one for you. If you make any other mistakes that you can't fix, please ask for help, e.g. at WP:Village pump.

You made a proposal to move various US city categories at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2015 June 10, but you didn't tag the pages or come back to explain or discuss it, so I have closed it now.

You also moved Category:United States Navy Buffalo-related ships to Category:United States Navy Buffalo, New York-related ships and moved most of the contents, but you left the redirect USS Buffalo (CL-99) in the old category. Do you need help to edit a redirect? When you click on the link it takes you to the new page, but at the top of that page it says e.g. (Redirected from USS Buffalo (CL-99)). You can click on that link and it takes you to the redirect page, which you can then edit. – Fayenatic London 21:44, 13 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

I note that you also moved Category:Esports to Category:ESports at the start of May, and some sub-categories, without discussion. I trust that you will not make such moves again. – Fayenatic London 15:49, 18 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

I suggested to create an article for PartinG and Sos before[1]. Did you plan to do it? Miracle dream (talk)

Sorry I think that message must've gotten buried in my talk page and I forgot about it. But yeah sure, I'll see if I can put together a page for PartinG and Sos. Before that, I'm going to double check if they're WP:NOTABILITY notable enough for Wikipedia.--Prisencolinensinainciusol (talk) 07:11, 22 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

UND edit

The University of North Dakota has no team name. It matters not whether it is "official" or not, the school's athletic teams have no team name. One could claim that the decision of the North Dakota State Board of Higher Education ordering the University's discontinuation of the Fighting Sioux nickname made the lack of a nickname "official." However, this order came only after decades of controversy, a state-wide vote favoring the elimination of the nickname, and the threat of sanctions from the NCAA. Whatever the case, just as in real life, the issue here in the Wikipedia has fairly well been beaten to death. There was much discussion and cross-editing at the time of the matter, and the conclusion was long ago reached that the only necessary fact is that the University of North Dakota has no team name. (In case you are wondering, I had no part in those discussions and only became aware of them after I used the phrase, "no official nickname" and was informed by two different parties that all that need be said is that the University of North Dakota has no team name. ) GWFrog (talk) 02:20, 24 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

PS:You might be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Collegiate sports (USA)... GWFrog (talk) 02:23, 24 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
It's still referred to by fans and some media outlets as the Fighting Sioux, and besides the team was known by that for so many years that it's a part of the history. Wikipedia is not official so it doesn't matter what UND the NCAA or whatever organization says, the team has a nickname, just not an official. Now I suppose I'll take my issues to the people you mentioned then.--Prisencolinensinainciusol (talk) 06:44, 28 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Northeastern Germany edit

 

A tag has been placed on Northeastern Germany, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo, or other unlikely search term.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Notice - Poor quality article creation edit

Hi Prisencolinensinainciusol,

I noticed you've created some new articles that don't meet the general notability guidelines. Additional third-party sources that discuss the subject are needed, or the articles may be deleted. Here is a list of pages that need immediate attention:

  1. Carbon (Halo team)
  2. Counter Logic Gaming
  3. EDward Gaming
  4. Final Boss (Halo team)
  5. Garena Premier League
  6. Keith Allan (actor)
  7. League of Legends Masters Series
  8. League of Legends Pro League
  9. Peter Breitmayer
  10. Team 3D (esports)
  11. Team Coast (esports)
  12. ViCi Gaming
  13. Wang "Banana" Jiao

Consider using Wikipedia:Articles for creation instead of creating articles directly. Your talk page has many notices of notability & sourcing problems, such as on 1st May 2015 by User:Czar[2][3].

Counter Logic Gaming edit

Please stop editing this page in a way that goes against Wikipedia's guidelines. You make totally partisan decisions such as removing League of Legends from the main body of the article, removing CLG Black from the roster list, and putting a totally arbitrary emphasis on League of Legends in the article. You're changing things that don't need to be changed in a way that removes information. Your roster table that you questioned the removal of is at odds with how the roster of every single major eSports organization is presented on Wikipedia. Do some research and stop editing ignorantly. Fred BR (talk) 12:01, 27 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

CLG LoL should be emphasized to an extent because it's the most notable of all the teams and League of Legends is by far the most popular spectator eSport. Emphasizing something else puts undue weight. Similarly the article on FC Barcelona really only refers to the soccer team because that's the most notable team under the FC Barcelona banner. I mean CLG was covered on ESPN; no other CLG squad has had that kind of mainstream exposure. Some of the other changes you described were actually mistakes, sorry about that. Also, I don't know what you're insinuating by claiming I made "partisan decisions", but just letting you know I don't really have any unconventional bias towards any game in particular.--Prisencolinensinainciusol (talk) 19:04, 27 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

WikiCup 2015 September newsletter edit

The finals for the 2015 Wikicup has now begun! Congrats to the 8 contestants who have survived to the finals, and well done and thanks to everyone who took part in rounds 3 and 4.

In round 3, we had a three-way tie for qualification among the wildcard contestants, so we had 34 competitors. The leader was by far   Casliber (submissions) in Group B, who earned 1496 points. Although 913 of these points were bonus points, he submitted 15 articles in the DYK category. Second place overall was   Coemgenus (submissions) at 864 points, who although submitted just 2 FAs for 400 points, earned double that amount for those articles in bonus points. Everyone who moved forward to Round 4 earned at least 100 points.

The scores required to move onto the semifinals were impressive; the lowest scorer to move onto the finals was 407, making this year's Wikicup as competitive as it's always been. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:

  1.   Cas Liber (submissions), who is competing in his sixth consecutive Wikicup final, again finished the round in first place, with an impressive 1666 points in Pool B. Casliber writes about the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy. A large bulk of his points this round were bonus points.
  2.   Godot13 (submissions) (FP bonus points), second place both in Pool B and overall, earned the bulk of his points with FPs, mostly depicting currency.
  3.   Cwmhiraeth (submissions), first in Pool A, came in third. His specialty is natural science articles; in Round 4, he mostly submitted articles about insects and botany. Five out of the six of the GAs he submitted were level-4 vital articles.
  4.   Harrias (submissions), second in Pool A, took fourth overall. He tends to focus on articles about cricket and military history, specifically the 1640s First English Civil War.
  5.   West Virginian (submissions), from Pool A, was our highest-scoring wildcard. West Virginia tends to focus on articles about the history of (what for it!) the U.S. state of West Virginia.
  6.   Rodw (submissions), from Pool A, likes to work on articles about British geography and places. Most of his points this round were earned from two impressive accomplishments: a GT about Scheduled monuments in Somerset and a FT about English Heritage properties in Somerset.
  7.   Rationalobserver (submissions), from Pool B, came in seventh overall. RO earned the majority of her points from GARs and PRs, many of which were earned in the final hours of the round.
  8.   Calvin999 (submissions), also from Pool B, who was competing with RO for the final two spots in the final hours, takes the race for most GARs and PRs—48.

The intense competition between RO and Calvin999 will continue into the finals. They're both eligible for the Newcomers Trophy, given for the first time in the Wikicup; whoever makes the most points will win it.

Good luck to the finalists; the judges are sure that the competition will be fierce!

Is a yearbook a reliable source to confirm attendance at a school edit

See Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Is_a_yearbook_a_reliable_source_to_confirm_attendance_at_a_school for the discussion I started and feel free to chime in there. I'm still leery of using a yearbook on this basis and I will abide by whatever consensus is reached there. Alansohn (talk) 21:52, 3 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Wondering if you are interested edit

I have this in my userspace User:Valoem/Isai Alvarado, he is notable I have added sources, but due to COI it is best I not move this into the mainspace. Perhaps you would be interested. 173.71.93.146 (talk) 00:50, 6 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Okay, I'll move the article into mainspace. Personally, I have some doubts about the notability of Isai as stand alone article, but we'll have to see what other editors think.--Prisencolinensinainciusol (talk) 21:31, 6 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
Mainspacing the article is your way of saying you think it meets notability guidelines. The point of a COI editor asking someone else to do it is to have another editor's discretion. I wouldn't mainspace something unless I was willing to defend it—otherwise it just creates work for others down the line. – czar 22:07, 6 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
I know him personally so I thought it best not to move it to mainspace myself, however sources do suggest some notability. Grantland and The Smash Brothers do cover him extensively with an entire episode dedicated to him. Up to you. @Czar: There are two other sources from MLG which cover him I believe they may be found under waybackmachine, sources are no longer on their website. I would be happy to defend the article if an AfD is opened, however I would not move this article into the mainspace myself. Valoem talk contrib 23:40, 6 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
My note was just to encourage P not to mainspace an article that they're not comfortable with. The article's current sourcing is no bueno. It should use vetted video game reliable sources if possible. Shoryuken is not a reliable source. Goldper10 is definitely not ("I'm not a big name or anything like that. I'm just somebody like any other content creator.") And the PR report should only be used as a self-published source, not to demonstrate external notability. Also the "greatest of all time" claim in the first sentence isn't even substantiated by its sources. It's not ready. – czar 23:58, 6 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
@Czar: If you read the sources I provided you would see that it is directly cited in the Grantland article "One Smasher emerged as the idol of this nascent international network: Isai (pronounced “Isaiah”), whose legend looms over Apex. An enigmatic figure who’s generally regarded as the best ever to play the original Super Smash Bros., Isai won SSB64 singles at Apex last year, but he isn’t attending the 2015 tournament. Even so, his name keeps coming up, usually in the hushed tones that a golfer in the early aughts might have used to talk about Tiger Woods." Valoem talk contrib 00:42, 7 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
I missed that in my skim. But it isn't in the second source, which should be removed from that sentence. It's also a bit of an exceptional claim to only have one citation. – czar 01:33, 7 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
  Done Ok I've more the second citation to the bottom and I added two more sources. I think we have a shot at AfD if it comes to that right now. Valoem talk contrib 02:49, 7 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
Can I just move it into the mainspace now, if it's ready?--Prisencolinensinainciusol (talk) 22:43, 10 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
Please do, hopefully UltraDark can also possibly find sources. This article may pass AfD only way to find out is to try. Valoem talk contrib 15:18, 16 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Your revert on Electronic Sports League edit

Your revert of my edit on Electronic Sports League, here, added a link to a disambiguation page back into the article. Why did you do that? --I dream of horses If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{Ping|I dream of horses}} to your message. (talk to me) (contributions) @ 23:14, 6 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

@I dream of horses: I reverted your edit was because I thought you dabed it to the wrong link and I just changed it to the page title ESEA League instead of the full name, E-Sports Entertainment Association. Nevermind, my mistake.- -Prisencolinensinainciusol (talk) 02:17, 7 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Louisiana edit

I didn't want to contact you while the discussions were going on for fear of being accused of WP:CANVASS. But the deletionists have already had their way and deleted almost everything. I guess it is now up to people like you and me to build it up. I had my say at Talk:District 4-5A (LHSAA). You should also see User talk:Alakzi#Template:Louisiana High School Athletic Association. As you can see they deleted it on the grounds that it was all red links. Alakzi restored the original template in question to

So we need to create the links, which I started and then almost immediately had that content deleted. I had it restored to:

I'll put those back when they have some additional sources. I guess District 4 will be a good guinea pig to see how much of a fight we have on our hands. By the way, in that process I discovered somebody else had already created all or many of the links, so it was a wholesale effort to wipe all of that person's work out that turned those links red. Whoever this deletionist faction is, they are trying to establish a precedent to wipe out all of this kind of content, which might eventually include all the other content you and I have already created. We need to establish the opposite precedent that there is significant coverage for all of this content. That it is notable. Mappers is very useful to getting the league structure correct and sourced. Now the question upon us is to find journalistic coverage of these leagues. I'd rather not spend my time googling every league in the US but until they stop successfully deleting this kind of content, we will have to keep slapping them in the face with the coverage that is there. Trackinfo (talk) 18:26, 14 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Since I wrote to you earlier, District 4 was deleted and I had to complain to get it restored. I'm writing an essay at User:Trackinfo/sandbox/NHSL and you are welcome to contribute. Trackinfo (talk) 02:00, 15 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
Can you link me some of the AFDs, this is a bit much to take in at once.--Prisencolin (talk) 04:44, 15 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
None of these got an AfD. They all got the speedy treatment. I am the only one arguing the Keep side of the case vs a bunch of reflexive delete A7 actions. I still do not know who created this sequence of articles. If it was not you, I hope it was a local who might have the important local knowledge to make these articles into indisputable Keeps. Trackinfo (talk) 06:11, 15 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
I think the best case for these to be kept would be for them to all be in a large article called list of LHSAA districts or something. I'll see if I can dig them up some of the local print sources out there.--Prisencolin (talk) 02:11, 18 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Enemy (esports) edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Enemy (esports) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination' by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.   ' Olowe2011 Talk 02:26, 26 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

FaZe Clan edit

 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of FaZe Clan, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://cod.esportspedia.com/wiki/FaZe_Clan.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

September 2015 edit

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to remove speedy deletion notices from pages you created yourself, as you did at Enemy (esports), you may be blocked from editing.   ' Olowe2011 Talk 03:23, 26 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

I removed the tag because clearly this isn't a candidate for speedy deletion. I'm going to replace it with a regular AFD.--Prisencolin (talk) 03:26, 26 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • The references you provided on the page are either not accessible or self published (published by the organization which the article is about.) I believe it fits with speedy deletion and if you remove it I will report you. You cannot remove or alter deletion tags. Let an administrator decide.   ' Olowe2011 Talk 03:27, 26 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • @Olowe2011: The assertion you made about the sources aren't true, but don't just take my word for it. Okay I realize I can't remove the tag, but I'm strongly recommending you to resubmit this as a regular AFD instead of a WP:A7, since WP has a history of deleting competitive video game related articles quite quickly and I don't really want to deal with that, thanks.--Prisencolin (talk) 03:32, 26 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

September 2015 edit

  Thank you for your edit to the disambiguation page Dice (disambiguation). However, please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the disambiguation dos and don'ts, you should:

  • Be familiar with the guidelines and style
  • Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
  • Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
  • Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry
    • Only add a "red link" if used in an article, and include the "blue link" to that article
  • Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
  • Do not insert external links or references

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Dice (disambiguation), you may be blocked from editing. disrupting dab page, and mainly I agree with other editor above - do not remove CSD from own article. Now would be a time to pause and reflect. Widefox; talk 12:09, 27 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

 

Your recent editing history at Dice (disambiguation) 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 get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's 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.
