Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style makes articles harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Your recent editing history at The Mentalist shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Hawaii Five-0
Cardinalsmyles/97.86.13.16,

Please refrain from repeatedly trying to force an edit into the article on the television series Hawaii Five-0; between your IP edits and your registered edits, you've been reverted multiple times by multiple editors, and refuse to follow guidelines for providing edit summaries and gaining consensus. If you feel the table needs to be in the article, start a discussion the article talk page and gain consensus to include it. You should also provide an edit summary for every edit you make. Your editing habits as an IP got the article protected twice, and editing as you are as a registered user will get you blocked. Please see WP:EDIT for more information. --Drmargi (talk) 17:22, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on List of Hawaii Five-0 episodes. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: 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 engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Davejohnsan (talk) 21:25, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.


 * The warning may have been a little preemptive, but I suspect you are editing under the same IP that led to the page's protection in the first place. If you are unwilling to start a discussion with someone and continue ignoring everyone else, you're more than likely going to find yourself blocked for WP:3RR. Some form of communication would be really nice from you so that I know you're not deliberately ignoring me. Davejohnsan (talk) 21:28, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at List of Hawaii Five-0 episodes, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Please stop your disruptive editing and refusal to communicate, or you will be blocked. The Bushranger One ping only 03:18, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

October 2012, Part 2
Edit warring includes continuing to force an edit that has been repeatedly reverted, while refusing to discuss on the articles' talk page. Please STOP restoring the redundant cast table to Hawaii Five-0. You should discuss the reasons for including a table that duplicates information already in the narrative, and gain consensus to include it before restoring it again. You've been asked to discuss over and over, but refuse to acknowledge these warnings, use the articles' talk pages or provide an explanatory edit summary. --Drmargi (talk) 03:17, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistent disruptive editing. 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 below this notice the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

This is your last warning. The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. ''You repeatedly engage in editing that is considered disruptive by the community, and refuse to discuss your edits on article talk pages in response to concerns. Please stop your disputed contributions and discuss with other editors. If you continue not listening and making disruptive, copyright violating edits, you will be indefinitely blocked as being not here to improve the encyclopedia.''

Your addition to List of Hawaii Five-0 episodes has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. . Your persistent refusal to abide by policy regarding disruptive editing and copyrighted material makes it clear you have little interest in being a productive member of the community. --Drmargi (talk) 16:12, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Cast table
I recognize that you want to add a cast table, but there have been multiple editors who have reverted it as duplicating what is already in the narrative. If you think there is a good reason to restore the table, rather than trying to force it in, as you've done at least three or four times now, you MUST open a discussion on the article's talk page and gain consensus BEFORE adding the table again. I don't know why you persist in refusing to respond to these notices, use an edit summary and work within Wikipedia guidelines, but you're on the knife's edge of being blocked for it. --Drmargi (talk) 17:43, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistent disruptive editing and refusal to listen to repeated requests to discuss your editing. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
