Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Thousand Oaks shooting, you may be blocked from editing. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 15:30, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, 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, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Thousand Oaks shooting. 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 be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 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 block. Thank you. —— SerialNumber  54129  15:33, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. Thank you. —— SerialNumber  54129  15:37, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at Thousand Oaks shooting. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. 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:.

You are pathetic. I WAS THE ONE WHO MADE A TALK PAGE ENTRY! - A Canadian Toker (talk) 15:46, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

You won't get unblocked if you keep shouting in all capitals. Please calm down and take a deep breath. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  15:49, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * you are nothing but a bully. I was the one who made the talk page entry, you chose to bully me for no reason. - A Canadian Toker (talk) 15:51, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Your unblock request needs to focus on your conduct and your conduct only. You have to convince us that, if unblocked, you will follow policies and be a net positive to the project. Personal attacks against other editors don't do that for you. —C.Fred (talk) 15:57, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

I blocked you because other editors filed a complaint that they were unable to update the article because your edits kept clobbering them. If I had to point a finger at the real issue, it's because currently the MediaWiki software only allows us to protect a page (so nobody can edit) or block an editor from everything (so they can't discuss the issues). Obviously I can't protect, as there are too many people editing the article, and doing nothing would have probably resulting in another administrator blocking anyway.

My advice to you is this - I can take a bit of being slagged off, it comes as part of the job, but it won't help your case. You won't get unblocked unless we can get absolute assurances that you won't touch the article anymore, and will restrict your editing to the talk page. There usually isn't any great requirement to rush and scramble to be the first to edit, as Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  15:57, 8 November 2018 (UTC)


 * you are a BULLY! So now you're blackmailing me to restore access? Those other editors are who should be blocked. I made the talk page, to DISCUSS THE ISSUE. Instead the biased just found YOU a BULLY! I will not be blackmailed. You should be ashamed of yourself for bullying me on Wikipedia. Pathetic. - A Canadian Toker (talk) 16:01, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * How convenient that I can't even edit the talk page to discuss the issue. But you never wanted that anyway. - A Canadian Toker (talk) 16:03, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

I put a pov tag on the article and made a new talk page section for the pov tag. happy to hear from you other there! - A Canadian Toker (talk) 20:43, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
