Your recent editing history at Brazil v Germany (2014 FIFA World Cup) 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.

Christ. Any more notices? Am I about to be knighted? Get your act together - if you lot spent half as much time actually answering people's questions as you do whining and reporting and sending out these notices, you might actually get some decent copy on the table, and people wouldn't be wondering why they needed to know the name of the referee in the match before they find out why it has an article.

Blocked from editing
You have been blocked from editing for a period of two days for personal attacks and edit warring, as you did at Brazil vs Germany (2014 FIFA World Cup). 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.

 * I'm sorry you were blocked. I understood and sympathized with your argument at WP:ITN/C, but, no matter how idiotic you find the counterarguments you're confronted with, you'll be far more persuasive (not to mention less blockable) if you stop calling people names (as well as edit-warring, of course). Cheers, take care (and I'm still freaked out by the 7:1). ---Sluzzelin talk  22:44, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
