Spelling corrections
I saw your edit to Why Pink Floyd...? and thought I'd point out that the spelling corrections that you made were unnecessary. Per WP:ENGVAR, if an article is about a British topic then British English spellings should be used. Since WPF? was released by a British band, it should use British spellings. So 'color' should be 'colour'. Just thought I'd point that out. Dismas |(talk) 03:14, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Your recent editing history 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. 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.

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Led Zeppelin ‎, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Spike Wilbury (talk) 01:00, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Da Cow 2.7", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it reminds me of Dachau concentration camp.. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. ''Hello, your username might remind some users of Dachau concentration camp. I think it is an inappropriate username.'' Hoops gza (talk) 02:44, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
 * As you have not yet answered after 5 days, I will ask you again. Can you please speak to why you have chosen the username you have, and address the user's issues with it. It has been reported as offensive, and if no explanation from you is forthcoming then your account will be blocked indefinitely while the matter is resolved.
