You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. ugen64 04:49, 27 August 2007 (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.

Request reason:

I added pertinent sources and reverted other users' vandalism to blocking admins changes. As a result, my talk page was vandalized. I asked for assistance. I'm uncertain why I'm being blocked. Thank you in advance. SquidSwim 01:08, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Sorry, but Wikipedia:Three-revert rule applies to all editors on all articles. This was clearly a content dispute and not vandalism as defined officially at Wikipedia:Vandalism. You are free to resume editing as soon as your current block expires, but please comply with out policies and guidelines as posted above. Please also see Wikipedia:Resolving disputes. -- Netsnipe ► 01:50, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
