Queensland floods
Please understand that the article covers all of Queensland and not just those who died in Toowoomba and the Lockyer Valley. Many people died before then and they are included in the death count for the article. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 10:49, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

3RR warning.
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on 2010–2011 Queensland floods. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording, and content that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.
 * 1) Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
 * 2) Editors violating the rule will usually be blocked for 24 hours for a first incident.
 * 3) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

2010–2011 Queensland floods
Hi! As per Mattinbgn above, we can't use the figure of 18, as that only represents the deaths since January 10 this year. Unfortunately, there were also a number of deaths in the Queensland floods since late November, although as the current media reports are focused on the most recent deaths, those deaths aren't being included in that count. However, we're having a discussion about the figures to show over at Talk:2010–2011 Queensland floods, so it would be great if you could join in. We have a few options, depending on where the community wants to take things.

As an aside, the problem with your current approach of changing it back is that gets us stuck in an edit war, and that can lead to sanctions, irrespective as to who is correct. Rather than risk this, we generally recommend that in these situations everyone engages on the talk page (as linked to above above), rather than changing each other's edits. - Bilby (talk) 12:23, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Final warning
Edit warring without any effort to discuss the issue or even acknowledge polite requests is not the way Wikipedia works. Your next action to do so you will see you blocked from further editing. –Moondyne 12:56, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
