User talk:Shark310

January 2015

Your recent editing history 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.

Hi thanks for the message. To address this issue It is my understanding that wikipedia policy states:

"The issue is already very simple, when removing problematic BLP material (...removed immediately and without waiting for discussion), 3rr does not apply. There's no long list of exceptions...just this one simple concept. Reverting (in this context read: removing) Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about living persons is something we have to do. If you've removed/reverted something 2 or 3 times in a row already and are faced with another insertion, BLP policy doesn't go away...we're bound by it before most other editing restrictions like 3rr. For those familiar with Active Directory or similar concepts, think of it as effective permissions."

I believe it further states:

"For example, if two users are edit warring over a BLP, one is removing a potentially libelous statement and the other is entering it, then the user removing it may be given the benefit of the doubt. Essentially, if the user, who is removing the potentially damaging statement(s), violates 3RR, then their violation may be exempt from any action taken."

Please let me know what your thoughts are. 🐍 00:14, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
