Your edit to the Miami Showband killings lead changed it to say that the massacre “was an attack by the Ulster Volunteer Force ... and the British Army's Ulster Defence Regiment” This is an inaccurate and misleading summary of the article. This was not an attack by the UDR. The attack was carried out by the UDA. While some of the attackers were members of the UDR, not all were, which the lead already noted correctly. Please note that this article is subject to General sanctions for articles relating to The Toubles. Please do not attempt to edit war (you will be blocked from editing), but discuss at the talk page instead. Thank you. Daicaregos (talk) 13:13, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm MelbourneStar. I noticed that you recently removed some content from New Zealand Army, with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. — Mel bourne Star ☆ talk 13:52, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Countries of the United Kingdom, you may be blocked from editing. Bevo74 (talk) 15:42, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Defence Forces (Ireland), you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Bevo74 (talk) 11:08, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

3RR
Your recent editing history at Countries of the United Kingdom 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. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

 * I'll add the articles New Zealand Special Air Service & Republic of Ireland. Please stop your edit warring and listen to other editors. Please read WP:BRD. Canterbury Tail   talk  22:29, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Vandalism
Hello, I'm Canterbury Tail. An edit that you recently made seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Canterbury Tail  talk  22:35, 26 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Information orange.svg Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Kelly Kettle, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits do not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Canterbury Tail  talk  02:55, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Defence Forces
Hi, on multiple pages you keep re-inserting "Fórsaí Cosanta" as the Irish-language name of Defence Forces.

Whilst, "Fórsaí Cosanta" is the Irish for "Defence Forces", that doesn't necessarily make it name of the Defence Forces in the Irish language. The name of the Defence Forces is in fact defined in law (e.g. the Defence Act, 1954) and various Defence Force manuals as "Óglaigh na hÉireann" or (in English) the Defence Forces. See the references in the Defence Forces (Ireland) article.

There are threads open on the pages you are changing. Please engage in these discussions, if you think you have a point and please being sources with you to evidence your claim. Otherwise please stop reverting these changes.

Also, can you please leave an edit summary when making changes so that other can understand your reasoning or intentions.

Thanks, --Tóraí (talk) 05:55, 27 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I second that. Continually re-adding your own version without explanation or discussion is edit-warring. If you believe your edits are justified, it is up to you to justify them. Scolaire (talk) 09:20, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for abuse of editing privileges. 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. Canterbury Tail  talk  11:53, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
