3RR

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

.. and please, next time leave warnings to the editor. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 08:49, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

I would have thought that of all people, an administrator from 2006 would know that reverting vandalism was not edit warring. →Σ τ c. 08:53, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Deleting a speedy is not necessarily vandalism. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 08:55, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

...but deleting a speedy is not allowed. As WP:CSD states: "The creator of a page may not remove a speedy deletion tag from it". Σ's actions are not edit warring. B music ian 09:02, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

....oh, wonderful. WP:BUREAUCRACY .. can you show me the CheckUser results?

And still, do leave warnings when undoing such edits. It is not really helpful if a new editor gets a speedy re-added without someone trying to communicate to them why they can't. Σ did report the editor to AIV for being a vandalism only account, without any warning to the editor. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 10:00, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Examples of Cannibalism in slavery, famine and prison

Hello. I wanted to let you know that I have declined your speedy deletion request. While the content may look gross, I think the article is not meant to disparage certain groups of people. Actually it is reliably referenced with scholarly articles and does not focus on one group of people but covers Ukrainians, Chinese and Australians at the same time. Please consider a full deletion discussion if you still think the page should go. De728631 (talk) 22:48, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Chester K. Hardison

Ahem, Sigma--maybe you need to calibrate your mouse since you put G11 on this article about a subject abandoned at birth and gifted with an uncommonly hard penis. ;) Drmies (talk) 18:37, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

But he saved so many cute puppies, of course it's promotion! :P →Σ τ c. 18:40, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

I hope he didn't use his uncommonly hard penis on the puppies just before he recreated it and got blocked. Drmies (talk) 18:41, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Heh →Σ τ c. 18:48, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

CSD log

I saw your wonderful CSD log. So, I also like to have one, but I wanted to know that how do you maintain it? (Wouldn't it be troublesome to type everytime you tag a page in the log page?) Yash t 101 06:51, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Twinkle/Preferences#twinkle-config-section-6 --Sp33dyphil ©^hat_ontributions 07:01, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Yes, Sp33dyphil is correct. You'll need Twinkle, though. →Σ τ c. 07:05, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Delta Rae

Hi Σ. Just letting you know I declined the A7 speedy you suggested for this article, as the band appears to be notable. I added some references. Regards, Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 03:40, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Your regex

Hi. Your edit to Edward Coke looked quite nifty to me. Just as an FYI, your regex missed the citations where there was a page range or the the page number was in roman numerals [1]. Best, Jenks24 (talk) 07:21, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that for me. →Σ τ c. 08:09, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

resource request

Hi,

I've uploaded one of the articles that you requested at the resource exchange. You can find a link to the article at that page.

do not delete poochia — Preceding unsigned comment added by VegetarianMike (talk • contribs) 02:01, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

I will not delete it, because the delete button is technically unavailable to me. An admin will have the pleasure of doing so. →Σ τ c. 02:04, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

The article was only tagged for speedy deletion; it's an article about a pet that does not make a claim to importance. As Σ says, an admin will delete it. B music ian 02:06, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia PRODs

Okay I appreciate your note--it's certainly polite and a gesture of good faith. Obviously, I disagree with your reasoning, but that's a legitimate perspective. I'll nominate several of them together in a bundled AfD and see what others think. It's not clear to me why an WMF project deserves exemption from WP:N (and sure enough, several such articles have been deleted in the past), but such is the way of PROD. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:23, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
