You wouldn't happen to be Joshua the Patriot (talk · contribs), would you? --Calton | Talk 23:58, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, I am not this person by any means. And yet there's this conversation, which seems an awfully coincidental intersection of interests and name. So, perhaps I should have asked more directly: are you User:CentristFiasco? Because if you are, simply changing your username doesn't get you out of a block, since a block is on the person not the name. --Calton | Talk 00:07, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please, let's get back contributing to articles in a professional manner. Well, "contributing to articles in a professional manner" includes not edit-warring, not deleting great swathes of text, not whitewashing or engaging in reputation management for your preferred political viewpoint, not trying to deflect attention from your actions, and not distorting other people's actions -- asking a question is NOT an accusation, and putting scare quotes around words ("contribution") is not on.

But as long as we're here, I'll change that from a question to an accusation: further reading of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/CentristFiasco/Archive shows that CentristFiasco has used the name [[User|Encyclopedist J}} and has edited from Jacksonville, Florida -- say, didn't you claim that "...the articles that I have been involved in were articles involving my federal representatives in the Congress"? So yeah, I'll now state my opinion that you're obviously CentristFiasco, trying to evade your block. Not a good idea. Nor is trying to hide the obvious warnings. --Calton | Talk 00:21, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Final warning of 3RR

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

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.
