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 ~~~~}}. NeilN ^{talk to me} 17:05, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding governmental regulation of firearm ownership; the social, historical and political context of such regulation; and the people and organizations associated with these issues, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Last warning

If you do not start using talk pages to civilly discuss your changes with other editors I will topic ban you. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 23:25, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Factfindingmission, you were warned about edit warring by @Primefac:. As soon as you returned to Wikipedia you restored material in question without a talk page discussion or consensus here [[1]]. Please self revert and move to the talk page discussion or I will report this to AN3 as a continuation of your warning here [[2]]. Springee (talk) 01:36, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It also appears you returned to edit war here as well [[3]]. Again, would suggest a self revert and talk page discussion. Springee (talk) 01:38, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@NeilN:, please review this latest edit summary in context of your warning above [[4]]. Springee (talk) 10:04, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion here [[5]]

March 2018

Your recent editing history at Smith & Wesson 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 are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the 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.
It doesn't matter if you are "right" or not, take it to the talk page. Primefac (talk) 16:46, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
