Clurre (talk) 19:15, 13 August 2012 (UTC)Clurre Hello Lone Boatman

I am very confused. I have been requested to update a Wikipedia page for Marcus Bleasdale (something I have never done before) and almost everything I do is being taken off or reverted. Some issues I understand, promotional tone etc, but I put in a section of examples of work and this has also been removed - I don't understand if it is his work - please help (in laymans terms)

Thanks

Copyrighted contributions
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribute Share-Alike."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the "Help Desk". You can also leave a message on my talk page. Lone boatman (talk) 08:47, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Lone boatman. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Marcus Bleasdale without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. The removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, Lone boatman (talk) 10:31, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Please don't keep deleting the categories from the bottom of the article. Categories are essential to an article, as they allow readers to find them more easily. You can read more about them at Help:Category. Thanks, Lone boatman (talk) 11:05, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Marcus Bleasdale, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Lone boatman (talk) 13:23, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced or original content. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. DVdm (talk) 14:05, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Marcus Bleasdale 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.

Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Marcus Bleasdale, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your account being blocked from editing. Lone boatman (talk) 14:50, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
