The Beatles
Please learn wiki procedures for formatting before making additional edits. You destroyed a lot of formatting on The Beatles. And The Beatles were a "pop" group before they were anything else. Ward3001 (talk) 02:44, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

The Beatles, again
STOP ruining the formatting in the article. Seriously, don't make any more edits to infoboxes until you learn how to format. If you need to practice, use the Sandbox. Second point: there is no such thing as "Physcedelic" rock. If you mean Psychedelic rock, that genre may apply to some Beatles music, but not most of it. They had too many genres to list them all, so they have been limited to the most generic, Rock and Pop, which describes most of their music. Ward3001 (talk) 05:01, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Policy violation
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war and have violated the three-revert rule, according to the edits you have made on The Beatles. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute 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.

Final warning
This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia or violate the three-revert rule, as you did to The Beatles, you will be blocked from editing. Ward3001 (talk) 05:16, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Block
You have been temporarily blocked for violation of the three-revert rule. Please feel free to return after the block expires, but also please make an effort to discuss your changes further in the future. --kingboyk (talk) 19:13, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

The Beatles -- genres
Please read Wikipedia's policies regarding consensus and edit warring. Wikipedia settles edit disputes by discussion on the article's talk page, reaching consensus, and then sticking with the consensus unless the issue is again raised on the talk page. If someone wishes to challenge the current consensus, it is necessary to raise the issue on Talk, then give sufficient time for discussion before making any changes in the article. If there is little or no response, sometimes a neutral request for comment can be posted to seek others' opinions. It is against Wikipedia policy, however, for an individual editor to individually contact other editors to try to build up support.

Regarding the issue of genre(s) to list for The Beatles, a consensus was reached on April 10, 2007 here and here that only Rock and Pop genres would be listed. If you wish to challenge this consensus, you need to follow appropriate steps as I have described above, including the blue links that I gave.

You have already been blocked once for edit warring. From the looks of your most recent edits, it seems you may be poised to edit war again. Second blocks are usually more harsh, especially after you have been given the abundance of warning that others and I have provided. Please follow appropriiate Wikipedia procedures regarding consensus instead of repeatedly reverting according to your individual opinions. I have no animosity in writing this. I'm simply trying to avoid needless edit warring when issues can easily be discussed and (usually) resolved on the talk page. And rest assured, I am not the only editor with these sentiments who watches the article on a regular basis. Thank you. Ward3001 (talk) 23:08, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Yesterday (song)
Given its structure and tone, I find it hard to believe that this song is in any way "rock". "Ballad", perhaps; "pop", certainly. Could you explain your thinking here?-- Rodhullandemu  (Talk) 00:33, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Do you want another block?
You have repeatedly changed genres in The Beatles contrary to consensus, and you have been repeatedly warned. You do not own the article. If you revert again without thorough discussion on the talk page, you will be blocked again for vandalism, and it will be longer than the previous block. Ward3001 (talk) 22:44, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

January 2008
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Tim meh  !  23:18, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

February 2008
This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. Ward3001 (talk) 22:29, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

FINAL WARNING
You must enjoy getting blocked. One more time and you get an indefinite block. That means you'll have to convince an administrator to unblock you. This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Ward3001 (talk) 19:11, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
