Hello, I'm Sro23. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Sro23 (talk) 17:44, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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. Sro23 (talk) 18:23, 11 August 2016 (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.

 * I have unblocked you. You were edit warring, but since Sro23 was also edit warring, and they failed to check the reasons they were reverting, and they were not blocked, and I have no appetite to block them as well, it is just that you be unblocked. I would counsel you to follow WP:BRD and give fuller explanations if you are challenged in future. Please not that this unblocking does not mean you can get away with future edit wars. Thanks, BethNaught (talk) 19:58, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Also according to the TechInsider source it was 2000, not 2001, but I'm assuming good faith with respect to your math. If you believe it is indeed 2001, please explain so with sources on the article talk page. Thanks, BethNaught (talk) 19:59, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Why do you keep requesting unwarranted protection of this article? Have you read our protection policy? --Neil N  talk to me 19:50, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

South African republic referendum, 1960
Why are you repeatedly changing the text of the question on South African republic referendum, 1960, when there are multiple sources showing that the wording was "a Republic for the Union"? - htonl (talk) 14:50, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Formal warning
Above, warned you against edit warring. It seems you have not heeded her warning. So, three points: --Neil N  talk to me 16:17, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Continued edit warring will probably lead to a block. Use article talk pages.
 * Misuse of WP:RFPP will lead to a block. Do not continually put in requests to indefinitely protect your preferred version of an article.
 * Referring to good faith edits of other editors as "vandalism" will result in a block. Please read WP:NOTVAND
