3RR
Your recent editing history at B. Alan Wallace shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. 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.

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.

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. Manul ~ talk 23:05, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Edit warring at B. Alan Wallace
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 think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. 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 full report is at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 03:47, 16 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I didn't perceive User:B. Chilton's comment in the WP:AN3 report to be a promise to stop edit warring. If they had explicitly promised to stop I might have closed the report differently. Making no further reverts after you have already made four is not much of a defence. Their future behavior on the article is still a concern, since their intentions are unclear. EdJohnston (talk) 16:13, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Still, what you wrote in the justification was untrue, as my comment clearly indicated that I did see a problem with continuing the edit war. My intention is to use the dispute resolution noticeboard if the other editor keeps doing what they did. Chilton (talk) 16:45, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
 * You can be unblocked if you will agree to wait for a prior talk page consensus before making further edits at B. Alan Wallace. EdJohnston (talk) 18:43, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The other editor consistently ignored some of my questions (eg. on why he keeps removing a fragment of the article I added), even though I repeated them a few times, so I doubt such a consensus is possible. I think the only way out if he reverts (or otherwise expresses dislike for) the current version is to use the dispute resolution noticeboard, and if this is the case, then I agree to not make any changes to the parts of the article being in question until the issue is resolved. Chilton (talk) 18:56, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I would see no problem with you making a frank offer to wait for a prior talk page consensus before reverting. In any case, the block has expired so the question is now moot. EdJohnston (talk) 06:49, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Do you want to withdraw your request for moderated discussion at the dispute resolution noticeboard in order to request a third opinion instead? Remember that neither a third opinion nor moderated discussion is binding.  (The one way of resolving content disputes that is usually binding is a Request for Comments.)

Disambiguation link notification for July 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Astigmatic (album), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Brian Morton and Richard Cook. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
