You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Polly Toynbee. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Wuh Wuz  Dat  15:13, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

I said I would discuss it with you but you just reverted it again and got yourself blocked. Perhaps we can discuss it when you are no longer blocked. Off2riorob (talk) 16:28, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure I understand. I made a modification to an entry for Polly Toynbee. It was reverted by others. So why have I been blocked? I offered to discuss this in dispute resolution but no-one seemed interested.

Is is that I need to offer proof that Polly Toynbee is left-wing?

One of the things that happened is that you kept sticking it back in and you didn't discuss at all. I realize you are new and I will ppost a list of templates for you to have a look at some guidelines, we have this bold revert discuss guideline WP:BRD you made a bold addition and it was reverted and that was the time to discuss. Personally I do not like labeling like that in the lede, it is more common for politicians. The lede is also verty high profile bringing other issues, it is mentioned in the article. Is she well know as a left wing political person, as she is foremost a writer is she a left wing writer..all open to opinion you see. I would say it is better to add reflections throughout the article instaed of blindly labeling her in the opening sentence like that. Consensus is another way we work here, so you move to the talkpage for discussion and see if anyone supports what you want to add. It can be a long winded path but an addition formed by discussion and WP:consensus is a strong addition that will likely remain. Off2riorob (talk) 18:44, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

If you understand why you have been blocked you can make a request to be unblocked by following the instructions on the template, I recommend reading this first Guide_to_appealing_blocks. Off2riorob (talk) 18:49, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
