Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Joey Chestnut, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. This was also original research, intended to minimize Chestnut's accomplishment. LHM 05:45, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

This is your last warning; the next time you violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by inserting unpublished information or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at Joey Chestnut, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. If you don't stop inserting your OR about Kobeyashi and asteriks, you may be blocked. LHM 06:17, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Blocked for 3 hours for violating our Three Revert Rule and edit warring
It's not acceptable to fight out an article content dispute by repeatedly editing the content back and forth without making any effort to discuss or explain the edits, such as in edit summaries or on the article talk page.

You did this on the Joey Chestnut article today, after multiple warnings to stop. You made more than 3 reverts to the article, in violation of our WP:3RR policy.

I am blocking you for a minimal 3 hours to stop the edit war. Please understand that if you continue it again after the 3 hours are up you will be blocked again for longer. The usual period is 24 hrs for a 3RR violation.

You are welcome to discuss the edit, sources for your information (see also our reliable sources policy and our verifiability policy) on the article talk page once the block has expired. Edit warring does not apply to constructive discussions on talk pages, it only prevents pushing the article page itself back and forth.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 hours for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
