Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Music of the United States. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, 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 Wikipedia. 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. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 06:36, 19 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Earlier, you were making the same edits using a range of IP addresses from the Greater Chicago area, the range of Special:Contributions/2601:243:400:F535:0:0:0:0/64. Lots of your contributions are Amero-centric denials of the conclusions made by music critics and musicologists that various genres of music originated outside the US. That would only work if you had a leg to stand on, a reference supporting your position, but you don't. Instead, you make up your own version of events, supported by nothing.
 * If you don't stop your combative and contrarian behavior, you'll get blocked. Binksternet (talk) 06:45, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on American popular music; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and 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. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Binksternet (talk) 06:57, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * 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.

There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Binksternet (talk) 07:17, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently adding unsourced or poorly sourced content. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. ~Swarm~  {talk}  07:46, 19 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Contrary to your assertions, the threshold for content on Wikipedia articles is verifiability. It does not matter if you assert that something is objectively "true", even if you are right. An editor's justification of why their unsourced changes are "the truth" are completely and utterly meaningless on Wikipedia. That is not the standard. Please adjust your approach accordingly, if you would like to make a serious unblock request. Asserting that you "know the truth" is not going to be sufficient. ~Swarm~   {talk}  08:26, 19 March 2019 (UTC)


 * To be clear, we're not looking for you to "win" a content dispute in an unblock request. We're looking for you to address the behavioral issue. See the guide for specific requirements. ~Swarm~   {talk}  08:39, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a reliable source for itself
Note that, while it may be counterintuitive, Wikipedia is not a reliable source for use in Wikipedia. Mojoworker (talk) 17:16, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
