User talk:Mac22203

Welcome!

Hello, Mac22203, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! PhilKnight (talk) 20:27, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

Editing advice
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Wikipedia policy on living persons
Please read Biographies of living persons. We take edit-warring in general seriously, and combined with a clear violation of our policy on living persons, any continuation of your behaviour at the Centerplate article is likely to result in you being blocked from editing. Wikipedia is not a soapbox, and nor is it a platform for putting the world to rights. AndyTheGrump (talk) 03:44, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Notification
There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

Blocked for violations of Wikipedia's edit war policy
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for edit warring, as you did at Centerplate. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Jayron  32  04:07, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

When this block expires, you should discuss the matter and build consensus on the article talk page rather than repeatedly trying to force a particular version of the article through. Wikipedia is built on collaborative editing and consensus building, not on who is more willing to force their will on others. If you agree to stop editing the article in question until after a consensus is built on the article talk page for your version of it, I (or another admin) can unblock you early. Use the unblock template as described above and explain that you are willing to discuss the changes you want to make rather than add them unilaterally. -- Jayron  32  04:07, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
