Roger Federer

edit

Please don't revert edits without any explanation in the edit summary. Someone probably thought this edit is needed, and you have to explain him (and any other editor who thinks the same) why his edit isn't appropriate for Wikipedia / the last revision is more appropriate.

About this specific case, you are a part of a discussion going on in the talk page, and when reverting related edits, the least you can do, in addition to explaining in the edit summary, is to continue the discussion.

I'm not going to re-revert your edit, but please, use the talk page next time (and in an appropriate way, unlike your last comments there).RaLo18 (talk with memy contributions) 18:48, 31 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hello, please don't label my edits, I'm not acting cheap. I assume that the long time consensus is this: Many journalists, and current and former players consider Federer to be the greatest player of all time.
OK, I understand, that you don't like this version, though it's true, because Federer is considered the greatest by a number of journalists, players, etc. It's not like writing he is the best.
But, if you don't like that sentence, then I don't like yours. You say: Federer is widely considered to be one of the greatest male singles players of all time in tennis. > now this is a gross understatement. Because as opposed to being THE greatest, being one of the greatest players is a fact in Federer's case, and you don't need to weaken it, and put it as a mere opinion.
My suggestion is the following: Federer's achievements place him among the most successful players in tennis history; a number of journalists, present and former players consider him the greatest male singles player of all time. > if you don't like it, I would ask you to consider at least the first part of the sentence.

I'm looking forward to your answer. I also repeat my opinion on the article's talk page. Pumukli (talk) 11:05, 29 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

3RR violations are blockable. Please stop edit warring and discuss controversial changes on the talk page before making them. Thatcher 19:54, 9 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked from editing for a short time in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three-revert rule. Please be more careful to discuss controversial changes or seek dispute resolution rather than engaging in an edit war. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.
The duration of the block is 24 hours. Here are the reverts in question. William M. Connolley (talk) 22:07, 9 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
