User talk:Cyrene12

March 2010
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Alain de Botton. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. ► RATEL ◄ 14:21, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. --SineBot (talk) 14:48, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Edit warring will not work
I can see you're new to this, so let me give you a few pointers:


 * 1) Do not attack other editors, as you did me. That breaks a cardinal rule and can lead to a long ban if repeated again and again, as you have done.
 * 2) Argue your case on the talk page rather than edit war. If you can get agreement with other editors, your version will survive. Simply reverting again and again will lead to another ban (see wp:AN3)
 * 3) If you are de Botton yourself, please read wp:COI and follow the suggestions there closely. ► RATEL ◄  14:54, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Sockpuppets
Please be cautioned that using sockpuppets to sway consensus in content disputes is not allowed. I urge you to revert/remove any comments you have added as a sockpuppet to the talk page at Alain de Botton before I request I sockpuppet investigation. ► RATEL ◄ 03:20, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
