Wikipedia works through consensus not edit wars
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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 a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. -- The Red Pen of Doom  02:36, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

June 2008
Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Affirmative action has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks.

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 02:44, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you delete or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 02:45, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Revert Warring
Please cease revert warring, Wikipedia works by consensus, not edit warring. Consider this your last warning, and take your proposed changes to the talk page. You've far exceeded the quota allowed by the 3 Revert Rule. Thank you. -- B figura 's puppy (talk) 02:46, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Slow and steady
I suggest that if you continue to edit Affirmative action in the way you are now, you'll find that all your edits will be reverted, you'll probably be blocked from editing, and the article won't have changed--or may have changed for the worse.

Take it slow and careful, talk on the talk page about what you're doing, find references for things, and challenge specific points you find wrong instead of large-scale deletions. If you're new to Wikipedia, you might want to spend a little while working on articles you care about less until you get the feel of how it's done, and then turn to the stuff you get heated about.Cretog8 (talk) 03:05, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
