Anonymous users from this IP address have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 hours for edit warring. 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. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

Stop it
See WP:EW. I've made this a very short block just to stop the disruption at the page. When it starts up again, discuss it on the talk page - if you revert to your preferred version without discussion, the next block will be considerably longer. Girth Summit  (blether) 18:44, 30 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I don't agree that I was partaking in edit warring, and I don't see why a revert of paid-for edits by a now indefinitely blocked user needed to be discussed first. --2A02:C7F:3A2B:3B00:5012:AA3C:4BA4:EEEA (talk) 18:47, 30 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks. You seem to believe that the other IP editor is a blocked editor evading their block. Can you provide any evidence for that? Also, can I just check - the page is currently at the 'wrong' version, from your perspective. Do you agree not to revert it to your preferred version, or make any other substantive change to the page, without gaining consensus on the talk page? By consensus, I mean you should thrash it out with the other editor, and ideally either agree between you, or get third parties involved - don't just say 'I'm going to change it' and then do so if they don't reply for a few hours.

 * I don't think the other IP editor is a blocked editor evading their block. I was simply pointing out that the initial edit I made that sparked the "edit war" was a revert of edits by the user Naluchanda who has been blocked indefinitely under WP:PAID. I am not making excuses, I am simply explaining my reasoning for my initial revert (not revert of the other IP user's edits, but my revert that they then reverted, which sparked the "edit war"). If my initial revert was unjustified in and of itself, then yes, I do agree to to not revert without first gaining a conscious. I simply believed that my initial edit was warranted without needing to gain a consensus first, but if I was incorrect in thinking this then I'm sorry, and yes, I will discuss the matter on the talk page until a consensus is reached. --2A02:C7F:3A2B:3B00:5012:AA3C:4BA4:EEEA (talk) 19:30, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
 * OK, well based on that, I'm going to accept your unblock. Please be clear - WP:3RRNO, which provides exceptions to edit warring, is very restricted. If someone inserts 'I fucked your mom' into an article, feel free to revert as many times as you like until they're blocked. Someone disagrees with you about whether/how we should report a rumour about a film? No so much. A blocked editor having advocated for a change is not a reason to revert someone else making the change; it's not even a reason to disagree with the change. Discuss the question on its merits, on the talk page. Cheers Girth Summit  (blether)  19:44, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I feel like Columbo here, but... just one more thing. The edit summary in this edit contains an unambiguous personal attack. Not to beat about the bush - a comment like that warrants an immediate block, no matter how strongly you think you're right. Don't do that again. Girth Summit  (blether)  20:02, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
