Michigan - OSU rivalry
Please read the Talk page. The NCAA and OSU both agree that a vacated contest means, no win for the penalized school. This is all clearly laid out. Keep making your edit and sooner or later you'll be blocked from all editing. Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 02:49, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

October 2014
Your recent editing history at Michigan-Ohio State football rivalry shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

 * After you are done reviewing the prohibitions on edit wars, you should also take a look at WP:Civility and WP:No personal attacks. JohnInDC (talk) 03:33, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Michigan-Ohio State football rivalry, you may be blocked from editing. JohnInDC (talk) 10:46, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Michigan-Ohio State football rivalry. JohnInDC (talk) 15:28, 6 October 2014 (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. Thank you. JohnInDC (talk) 11:01, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 * See WP:AN3. You seem to have broken WP:3RR at Michigan–Ohio State football rivalry. An admin might choose to block your account. It would be in your interest to respond to the report and agree to stop warring on the issue of the vacated scores. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 19:52, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, 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. the panda ₯’ 20:30, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Fresh start
Let's try to reboot this discussion, eh?

I apologize if it seemed like a cold welcome to the project; for what it is worth, it always helps to discuss edits and disputes on the Talk page of the article in question, particularly ones that seem to generate controversy. In the case of the Ohio State vacated games, there's already a lot of water under the bridge on the subject. The gist of it it that, when OSU vacated its victories and the NCAA agreed, the official result of those games - historical outcomes notwithstanding - became "nothing" for Ohio State. OSU no longer claims the wins, and the NCAA doesn't recognize them. As a result, where those games are described in Wikipedia articles, the historical outcome is shown (as it was at the MIchigan - OSU rivalry page), which makes clear what happened on the day the game was played, but, the contest is not described or tallied as a "win" or "victory" for the penalized team, because after the sanctions, it is not a win any longer. There are extensive (and pretty convoluted) discussions of this at Talk:Michigan–Ohio_State_football_rivalry, as well as Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_College_football/Archive_9 and WikiProject_College_football/Vacated_victories.

Feel free to raise these issues at the article talk page if you want further discussion. Going forward though it would be better if you didn't keep making the same edit repeatedly, in face of opposition from other editors who indicate that prior consensus is otherwise. I'll follow this up with a Welcome template too, which has a lot of useful links about Wikipedia policies and practices. Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 21:07, 6 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Please consider, and respond to, what I've said above rather than resuming your edit-warring. You will only find yourself blocked again, more likely for an even longer period.  Thanks.  JohnInDC (talk) 23:53, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
