April 2020 edit

  Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to Child sex tourism, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. 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. Materialscientist (talk) 23:59, 17 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

April 2020 - 2 edit

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Child sex tourism. 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 lose their editing privileges. 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 result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you. --John B123 (talk) 18:16, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

April 2020 edit

 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
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 think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  TheSandDoctor Talk 00:11, 21 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
I changed your block to be just 24 hours, but continuing to edit war once this block has expired or continued refusal to get the point will result in the revocation of editing privileges for a longer period of time as competence is required. Please do review the discussions that you have taken part in and the reasoning of other editors. Consensus is a core principle on Wikipedia and changes cannot simply be repeatedly forced as you have been trying to do. --TheSandDoctor Talk 00:15, 21 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
