July 2014

Your recent editing history at Chris Crocker 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. 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.

Some advice

Hi Unequivocal. You seem to have been having a bit of trouble in your first few edits on Wikipedia, and I'm sorry that you're having a rough ride. The early days here can often be a steep learning curve. I've left a welcome message at the top of this page with some useful links, but given your current situation I'd like to point you at one particular guideline - Bold, revert, discuss. This describes the basic process of dealing with a content dispute on Wikipedia - you make a bold edit (such as removing the "former" modifier at Chris Crocker), another user disagrees and reverts to the previous version of the article, and you then discuss the change. I see from your edit summaries that you have some reason to believe that the word "former" is unwarranted - what you therefore need to do is go to the article's talk page and start a thread explaining why you think he is still active in that field. You will probably find that other users dispute this, so you'll need to locate some reliable sources to back up your claim.

If you need help at any point, the Teahouse is a friendly place to get advice, and you're welcome to contact me on my own talkpage if you need a hand. Yunshui ^雲 _水 09:04, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
