Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Top Gear (2002 TV series), did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

 * To clarify, was incorrectly described in your edit summaries. It did not "update" the article "to fit with other TV show pages". It was a selective removal of valid content, including a note about re-ordering one present. You also removed a note explaining why dates for The Stig's status as a presenter don't coincide with his time on the series. Please note that this issue is actually under discussion on the talk page, and you may find further information there. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 16:32, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Top Gear (2002 TV series). Your edits have been reverted or removed. Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing.  Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 17:00, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
 * As I explained in the previous warning, dates are under discussion on the article's talk page. Your edit, which damaged the article, is therefore considered disruptive, as is the fact that instead of reverting your damaging edit, you chose to leave the article in a damaged state. Before making any similar edits to the infobox, please participate in the discussion on the talk page. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 17:03, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Top Gear (2002 TV series).  Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 18:51, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
 * You have been warned previously about this and asked to participate in discussion but so far have refused to do so. As the matter of dates is currently under discussion, you should NOT be removing content without first gaining consensus to do so. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 18:53, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Top Gear (2002 TV series). Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you.  Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 19:13, 28 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Please heed AussieLegend's advice and engage in discussion about the article at Talk:Top Gear (2002 TV series). If you continue to edit war, you will be blocked. —C.Fred (talk) 19:21, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Still edit-warring?
I have explained at the discussion referenced in the above discussion that we can't have it both ways. We have a Daily Telegraph source in the article saying that James May has ruled out returning, and a BBC source saying that his agent has said "the presenter was still in talks with the BBC about his role on the show." That same BBC source is being used as a source confirming that Andy Wilman has quit. If we accept the BBC for Wilman, we have to accept it for May, which means that May's departure has not been confirmed. We can't say part of the source is correct and the other is not. We are not permitted to make that distinction. Please participate in talk page discussions before jumping to revert. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 20:16, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

April 2015
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Top Gear (2002 TV series)‎. 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 that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. 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.

 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
 * I'm not "edit warring" simply following the protocols you laid out in an early post on the talk page about earning a consensus, which at the time of first edit - you hadn't done. You have subsequently added a post on to the article talkpage so for that you have my thanks. Contributer111 (talk) 17:12, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
 * What you're doing is still regarded to be edit-warring. Another editor, who had previously argued for dates in the infobox, started a separate discussion at the main project talk page, where discussions spanning all TV programs take place, and consensus of that discussion was not to include dates. This was mentioned on the Top Gear talk page. There was no opposition to exclusion of dates at either talk page, so yes, there was consensus to remove. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 18:09, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
