[edit]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. See BRD for how this is done. 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. Acroterion (talk) 01:13, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
- Please explain the apparently coordinated edits with IlliniStudent (talk · contribs) to circumvent 3RR violations, which I note you've broken. The only reason you're not blocked for edit-warring is because my warning and your edit coincided. Acroterion (talk) 01:17, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
- I've removed the "Controversy" section for the time being, since it appears to be an attempt at disparagement that is not explicitly supported by the only valid reference: the Daily Illini article. Court records are primary sources and are not admissible here: you must use secondary sources that present a verifiable interpretation, and may not present your own interpretation of court records. Opinion columns are likewise not acceptable sources. I strongly advise that you write only what can be supported by the news article, and I strongly advise that you use the talkpage to arrive at an acceptable consensus.
