Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Gorillaz, you may be blocked from editing. Binksternet (talk) 17:48, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Gorillaz 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 are 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.

Hello. Just a quick note to echo the above - please don't edit war on Wikipedia. Doing so will result in a block. Best, m.o.p 23:04, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How to be right and not get blocked

I'm only posting this because I checked your first day of contributing with your account, and saw easily over a dozen positive contributions that helped a lot, even in such a short time. And because you're close to getting blocked, and I'd rather you be able to continue improving things.

Many make the mistake of thinking that if they are right, they will always prevail, no matter what. Nope. Not here at Wikipedia, anyhow. You have to know how to make your knowledge stick. Please look at the red flags before considering your next move: the warnings about edit warring, and that you've tried seven times to make your edits on the Gorillaz page, but they aren't sticking. The first eight articles you improved, it went fine. Something is wrong. Now's the time to freeze, hold your breath, and listen for a time.

Patience. Some of the reverts have reasons given in the edit summary. Nobody's started a discussion on the talk page, but you can always start one. One motto at Wikipedia is "there is no deadline". I think if you make your next move quickly, you're going to get blocked. Sometimes you're right right away, and sometimes you're right after a stretch of time.
