Sexual fantasy[edit]

I've reverted your edit to this article as you made significant changes but marked it as a minor edit. You're welcome to reintroduce the material, but please don't mark it as a minor edit, and please ensure it is all properly cited. Thanks. Mind matrix 21:36, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

November 2016[edit]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Sexual fantasy. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been undone.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. With a change that significant, please bring it up on the article's Talk page first.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Sexual fantasy. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

Your recent editing history at Sexual fantasy 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 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.

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion[edit]

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Verity345 reported by User:Mr. Vernon (Result: ). Thank you. Mr. Vernon (talk) 17:30, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

Dear Ritchie333

I changed the edit so that it did not come under "minor edit" and also referenced all my sources. I don't understand why you have blocked me? I need to submit this for my university coursework today, so am panicking slightly

Hi, can you explain what you mean by coursework - is editing this Wikipedia article actually classwork for you? Or are you using Wikipedia as a reference for your coursework? --Mr. Vernon (talk) 19:47, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I blocked you because you were continually changing content without discussion. We don't block to punish people, but rather as a last measure to stop articles continually changing, while we try and work out how to stop the disruption. The block is not for long, so we will hopefully get this sorted out soon enough. Have a read of the links in the block notice above, particularly the edit warring policy, to understand what the problem is. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 22:56, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
