Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Chris Bush (English footballer), did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Chris Bush (English footballer). Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Please ensure that your edits adhere to our manual of style, are neutral, and includes reliable sources to verify information. Your edits are currently becoming disruptive. GiantSnowman 20:47, 9 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Your edits DO NOT meet our guidelines on either quality or content, by any stretch of the imagination, and in fact appear to be disruptive and distructive. If you know Chris Bush then you ideally shouldn't be editing about him, per WP:COI - especially not with unverified personal information. Because I do follow our rules and guidelines, I cannot revert you again (per WP:3RR), and so indstead will ask another editor to do so. Regards, GiantSnowman 23:17, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively. 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 a version 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 you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. (&#9733;&#9734; DUCK IS JAMMMY &#9734;&#9733;) 01:50, 10 August 2011 (UTC))
 * 1) Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Chris Bush (English footballer). Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Unfortunately "I know him, so you can take my word for it" is not a reliable source, as anyone can edit Wikipedia and make such claims. (I am not accusing you of lying, but just explaining why we can't take your word for it. Unfortunately large numbers of people do make totally false claims in Wikipedia.) You may like to look at the guideline to reliable sources to see what sort of thing is acceptable. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:28, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. 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. 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. Ged UK  11:34, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
