Your recent editing history at Saving Christmas 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.

With your recent edits under IP 172.249.27.33, you have clearly violated WP:3RR. If anyone cares to press the issue at this point, they can have you blocked from editing. If no one does and you continue to revert without discussing the issue first, I will have you blocked. You need to discuss the issue on the article's talk page. Additionally, I would strongly suggest you read the discussion taking place at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Film#Odd_situation_at_Saving_Christmas and consider how the "Streisand effect" applies to this situation. Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 02:32, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Please stop trying to remove your name from the article until after the situation is resolved. Otherwise, you will risk being blocked for edit-warring.--Mr Fink (talk) 04:27, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
